In this paper, the effects of atmospheric turbulence, initial field amplitude, optical system and thermal blooming on the centroid position of laser beams propagating through the atmosphere are studied in detail. With the ...

We analyze the radius of curvature of Bessel Gaussian (BG) and modified Bessel Gaussian (mBG) beams. The study is based on the results of analytic derivation as well as those of the random phase screen approach. Our results ...

The effect of turbulence on the spreading of radial Gaussian Schell-model (GSM) array beams is studied quantitatively by examining the mean-squared beam width. The analytical expression for the turbulence distance z (T) ...
