Scintillation of Gaussian beams both in anisotropic and uniaxial media is examined numerically utilizing the split step approach. Both the point-like and the power scintillation indices of Gaussian beams that propagate for a 5 Km in anisotropic and uniaxial media are investigated. The effect of turbulence strength on the scintillation level is also studied. In this regard, the scintillation level of the three components of Gaussian beam both the anisotropic and the uniaxial are analysed and compared with the scintillation of the fundamental Gaussian beam. The provided results show that the x-component of the Gaussian beam as propagate in both the anisotropic and the uniaxial media has the lowest scintillation. In addition, in uniaxial medium, the three components of the Gaussian beam have a power scintillation level less than the fundamental Gaussian.
