Spectral degrees of cross-polarization of stochastic anisotropic electromagnetic beams in modified non-Kolmogorov atmospheric turbulence

摘要

Based on the extended Huygens–Fresnel principle, variations in generalized Stokes parameters of stochastic anisotropic electromagnetic beams propagating through modified non-Kolmogorov atmospheric turbulence have been analyzed. The changes in generalized Stokes parameters with different turbulence parameters and source parameters were analyzed first. After that, the distributions of the spectral degrees of cross-polarization (SDCP) of isotropic beams and anisotropic beams were simulated. The results show that the profiles of distribution of SDCP of these two kinds of beams are very different in the near field, and will fluctuate through the propagation in atmospheric turbulence, but at last, when the propagation distance is long enough, the difference in the source makes a slight difference in the final profiles of SDCP in the output plane. They mainly depended on the turbulence perturbation, and in the weak turbulence, the profiles of final distribution show more flatter features.
