Intensity and coherence properties of light in oceanic turbulence

Changes in polarization properties of partially polarized, partially coherent vectorial cosh-Gaussian beams propagating in oceanic turbulence

“…In this appendix, we give the derivation of Equation (12). The elements of the cross-spectral density matrix at any two points (r 1 , z) and (r 2 , z) in a plane z > 0 can be expressed as follows: 10 , r 20 , 0)κ(r 1 , r 2 , r 10 , r 20 …”

“…Recently, a few papers have also appeared on the polarization changes of laser beams in oceanic turbulence and biological tissues. [11][12][13][14] It was found that even though the power spectrum of refractive index fluctuation has a very similar structure for random media, the polarization characteristics of beams traveling in these media are qualitatively different. To the best of our knowledge, only Gaussian Schell-mode beams and partially coherent radially polarized doughnut beams passing through oceanic turbulence have been studied.…”

Influence of oceanic turbulence on propagation characteristics of Gaussian array beams

“…Shchepakina et al studied spectral changes in stochastic light beams propagating in turbulent ocean [13]. Farwell et al investigated the intensity and coherence properties of light in oceanic turbulence [14]. Very recently, propagation of radially polarized beams in the oceanic turbulence was studied in Ref.…”

“…Á = 10 −3 m is the Kolmogorov micro scale (inner scale), ε is the rate of dissipation of kinetic energy per unit mass of fluid ranging from 10 −1 m 2 /s 3 to 10 −10 m 2 /s 3 [14], and T is the rate of dissipation of mean-squared temperature ranging from 10 −4 K 2 /s to 10 −10 K 2 /s [14].…”

“…(unitless) is the ratio of temperature to salinity contribution to the refractive index spectrum, which in oceanic waters varies in the interval [−5; 0], with −5 and 0 corresponding to dominating temperature-induced and salinity-induced optical turbulence, respectively [14].…”
