The propagation of a combining Airy beam in turbulence

A coherent combining Airy beam in turbulence has been studied analytically. The demonstrated results show that the Airy beam in weak turbulence exhibits the same properties as that in vacuum. Namely, the Airy beam can keep its shape unchanged and travel along parabolic trajectory for a long propagation distance in weak turbulence. However, when the Airy beam propagates in strong turbulence, the beam spreads rapidly, and loses its properties of traveling along parabolic trajectory and keeping the shape unchanged.
