Abstract

A simple formula is derived for predicting transverse intensity distribution of coherent and partially coherent (Schell-model) scalar beams propagating in extended linear isotropic, homogeneous media with given power spectra of refractive index. The examples illustrate how the formula can be applied to different beams propagating in atmospheric and oceanic turbulence. Our result provides deep insight into the light-media interaction process and serves as a convenient analytical and/or numerical tool for analyzing beam propagation problems without performing lengthy evaluations.
