Partially coherent beam propagation in atmospheric turbulence

G Gbur - Journal of the Optical Society of America A, 2014‏ - opg.optica.org
Partially coherent beams hold much promise in free-space optical communications for their
resistance to the deleterious effects of atmospheric turbulence. We describe the basic …
