“…Under diverse daytime and weather conditions, geographical location, and altitude, its value varies typically from 10 −17 m −3/2 (weak turbulent fluctuations) to 10 −12 m −3/2 (strong fluctuations). 2 It is noteworthy that the phase approximation does not take into account amplitude fluctuations which mostly contribute in the regime of moderate turbulence [61]. For calculations in this regime, appropriate methods are the extended Huygens-Fresnel method [61] or the photon distribution function approach [42,43].…”

The atmospheric turbulence is the main factor that influences quantum properties of propagating optical signals and may sufficiently degrade the performance of quantum communication protocols. The probability distribution of transmittance (PDT) for free-space channels is the main characteristics of the atmospheric links. Applying the law of total probability, we derive the PDT by separating the contributions from turbulence-induced beam wandering and beam-spot distortions. As a result, the obtained PDT varies from log-negative Weibull to truncated log-normal distributions depending on the channel characteristics. Moreover, we show that the method allows one to consistently describe beam tracking, a procedure which is typically used in practical long-distance free-space quantum communication. We analyze the security of decoy-state quantum key exchange through the turbulent atmosphere and show that beam tracking does not always improves quantum communication.

Cube corner reflector is widely used as the cooperative target in laser tracking, location and other systems and its reflected intensity distribution is of great significance to the design of cooperative target as well as to the theoretical study on the performance of laser radar system. An analytic algorithm for calculating the reflected intensity in atmospheric turbulence is presented in this paper, in which the effective reflective area of corner reflector is approximately taken as an ellipse, and the reflected beam is decomposed of a series of complex Gaussian functions. All these, combined with the extended Huygens-Fresnel principle, derive the expression of the mean received intensity from the reflector. The effects of incident angle, off-axis distance of the reflector, propagation distance and the strength of turbulence on the shape, asymmetry, beam width and spreading of the reflected field are calculated and discussed. atmospheric turbulence, cube corner reflector, complex Gaussian function, extended Huygens-Fresnel principle, mean intensity
