Electromagnetic propagation in a turbulent medium: a new approach

Abstract

A formalism based on coupled-mode theory is presented that allows one to deduce the equations of evolution of the correlation functions of the field propagating in a turbulent medium. As a particular application, the second-order correlation function is evaluated under less stringent conditions than those usually required in the frame of optical propagation theories in random media.
