Reciprocity breaking during nonlinear propagation of adapted beams through random media
J. P. Palastro, J. Penano, W. Nelson +4
Adaptive optics (AO) systems rely on the principle of reciprocity, or symmetry with respect to the interchange of point sources and receivers. These systems use the light received…
Using an incoherent target-return to adaptively focus through atmospheric turbulence
William Nelson, John P. Palastro, Chensheng Wu +1
A laser beam propagating to a remote target through atmospheric turbulence acquires intensity fluctuations. If the target is cooperative and provides a coherent return beam, the ph…
Enhanced backscatter of optical beams reflected in turbulent air
W. Nelson, J. P. Palastro, C. Wu +1
Optical beams propagating through air acquire phase distortions from turbulent fluctuations in the refractive index. While these distortions are usually deleterious to propagation,…
Propagation of Bessel and Airy beams through atmospheric turbulence
W. Nelson, J. P. Palastro, C. C. Davis +1
We investigate, through simulation, the modifications to Bessel and Airy beams during propagation through atmospheric turbulence. We find that atmospheric turbulence disrupts the q…
