On the basis of the extended Huygens-Fresnel principle, a general expression is derived for
the mutual coherence function (MCF) of a finite optical beam propagating in a weakly …

This is a concise, unified exposition of the existing methods of analysis of linear stochastic
waves with particular reference to the most recent results. Both scalar and vector waves are …

This paper presents a review of basic theories and recent advances in the studies of wave
propagation and scattering in random media. Examples of the random media include the …

The results obtained in recent years on laser irradiance propagation in random weakly
inhomogeneous media with large scale index of refraction fluctuations are reviewed. Of …

The propagation characteristics of an optical beam in the earth's atmosphere are greatly
affected by random fluctuations of the index of refraction caused by the turbulent motion of …

In this section we shall study speckle patterns produced by partially coherent light. Most
published work considers the effects of spatial coherence separately from the effects of …

A generalized Huygens–Fresnel integral, valid for optical wave propagation through random
inhomogeneities in the presence of any complex optical system characterized by an ABCD …

Using transport methods, we have computed the mutual coherence function of a laser beam
propagating in turbulence with a modified Von Karman spectrum for the index-of-refraction …

A review is given of recent investigations of the propagation of laser radiation in randomly
inhomogeneous media with large-scale fluctuations of the refractive index. The review is …

We demonstrate that a recently derived approximate solution to the fourth-moment equation
that was thought to be Valid only for strong scattering is in fact valid for all values of the …
