DOI: 10.1364/ao.446960
Abstract: In this paper, we investigate both theoretically and experimentally the statistical properties of an electromagnetic Gaussian-Schell model (EMGSM) beam propagating through polluted atmosphere specifically containing smoke aerosol medium. Experimentally, a glass chamber of 1 m… read more here.
