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 …

Optical coherence is a fundamental characteristic of light that plays a significant role in
understanding interference, propagation, light–matter interaction, and other fundamental …

Random Light Beams: Theory and Applications contemplates the potential in harnessing
random light. This book discusses light matter interactions, and concentrates on the various …

The spreading of partially coherent beams propagating through atmospheric turbulence is
studied by use of the coherent-mode representation of the beams. Specifically, we consider …

Partially coherent beam is preferred in many applications, such as free-space optical
communications, remote sensing, active laser radar systems, etc., due to its resistance to the …

Over the last century, classical optical coherence has developed from a few vaguely related
concepts into a standing along branch of optics and, more broadly, electromagnetics, that …

Partially coherent beams with a prescribed phase, state of polarization, and degree of
coherence display many extraordinary propagation properties and are preferred in many …

Analytic expressions for the mutual coherence function (MCF) and the scintillation index of a
partially coherent lowest order Gaussian beam wave propagating through the atmosphere …

We show that, when a partially coherent beam propagates through an inhomogeneous
medium such as atmospheric turbulence, the phase randomization that is induced is less …

We investigate the scintillation properties of Airy beam arrays in atmospheric turbulence. By
utilizing the “self-bending” propagation property of Airy beams, the constituent beamlets …
