Beam Wandering in the Atmosphere: The Effect of Partial Coherence
G. P. Berman, A. A. Chumak, V. N. Gorshkov
The effect of a random phase screen on laser beam wander in a turbulent atmosphere is studied theoretically. The method of photon distribution function is used to describe the phot…

Photon Distribution Function for Long-Distance Propagation of Partially Coherent Beams through the Turbulent Atmosphere
G. P. Berman, A. A. Chumak
The photon density operator function is used to calculate light beam propagation through turbulent atmosphere. A kinetic equation for the photon distribution function is derived an…
