Simulation of Optical Signals Propagation in a Random Media

Abstract

Abstract. The operator of the optical beam propagation through turbulent environment using the Fresnel approximation is being considered. The correlation function of random field describing inhomogeneous medium is given in the form of Gaussian function. The process of random field modeling using the Fourier transform is demonstrated. A selective correlation function is calculated, the deviation from the preset one is defined. The intensity distributions after propagation of optical beams in free space and in a random medium are given. As the input beam such optical distributions as Hermite -Gauss modes, rectangular pulse, and vortex beams were considered.
