“…It is valid not only at the case of weak turbulence, but also at the case of strong turbulence (Ishimaru 1977). To obtain simple and viewable analytical formula, a quadratic approximation of the 5/3 power law for Rytov's phase structure function is also employed (Wang and Plonus 1979).…”

Starting with a Gaussian beam excitation limited by an annular aperture, the on-axis average intensity is presented in turbulent atmosphere. The on-axis average intensity profile is evaluated by altering the outer and inner radius of an annular aperture, the propagation distance and wavelength. The results show that the outer radius of an annular aperture within a certain size impacts the on-axis intensity distributions. When the propagation distance or the outer radius of an annular aperture is large enough, the on-axis average intensity distributions is not affected by the size of the annular aperture. By calculation and analyses, the variation of the inner radius of the annular aperture and the wavelength of the Gaussian beam that impact on the axial average intensity distributions is also discussed.

“…/ m is the optical phase of the m-th laser beam. By using the extended Huygens-Fresnel principle, the average intensity of the coherently combined flattened laser beam array at the z-plane after propagating in the turbulent atmosphere can be expressed as [16,18,21] hIðp; q; zÞi ¼ k…”

“…The propagation of laser beams through atmospheric turbulence is a topic that has been of considerable theoretical and practical interest for a long time [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. Laser beam propagation through oceanic turbulence is relatively unexplored compared to that through atmospheric turbulence because of the complexity of oceanic turbulence.…”
