Imaging after double passage through a turbulent medium

Image Intensity of a Gaussian Rough-Surface in Atmospheric Turbulence

“…Therefore, the object information is totally lost in strong turbulence. This result exactly corresponds to the result given in [19] for a self-luminous object that emits incoherent monochromatic light through the turbulence.…”

“…In contrast to most of research, Fante has studied the imaging of incoherent sources through turbulence, and the results show that high spatial frequencies are not significantly affected by the turbulence; however, the lower frequencies may be affected considerably [6]. Yang et al have given imaging expression of point object and plane mirror in turbulent medium [7]. Wang and Plonus have discussed average intensity and signal-to-noise ratio of the field reflected by a target or radiated by an object which is usually incoherent [8].…”
