Theoretical predictions of laser beam interactions with jet-engine-exhaust-induced turbulence are of importance for optimization of various optical systems, including LIDARs and airborne laser measurement systems. This paper is based on the extended Huygens–Fresnel diffraction integral and the Wigner distribution function, combined with the recently proposed power spectral density function of atmospheric turbulence induced by jet engine exhaust, to derive the formula for the quality factor of a partially coherent Airy beam in turbulent media induced by jet engine exhaust. Numerical calculations based on the analytical formula show that the smaller the structure constant and outer scale of the atmospheric turbulence induced by jet engine exhaust, the smaller the quality factor of a partially coherent Airy beam, indicating better laser beam quality. At the same time, the larger the generalized parameter and inner scale of the jet-engine-exhaust-induced turbulence and the longer the wavelength of the laser beam, the smaller the corresponding quality factor. The numerical results also show that reducing the coherence length of a partially coherent Airy beam and increasing its characteristic width are beneficial for reducing the quality factor in the atmospheric turbulence induced by jet engines. However, the numerical results show that increasing the coherence length of a partially coherent Airy beam and reducing its characteristic width are beneficial for reducing the quality factor in vacuum. This situation demonstrates significant differences between the interaction mechanisms of an Airy beam in vacuum and in the jet-engine-exhaust-induced turbulence. The results of our discussion contribute to clarifying the mechanism of interaction between an Airy laser beam and random media, as well as the application of a curved Airy laser beam in practical situations.
