Partially coherent beam propagation in atmospheric turbulence [invited]

Partially coherent beam propagation in atmospheric turbulence [invited]

Partially coherent beams hold much promise in free-space optical communications for their resistance to the deleterious effects of atmospheric turbulence. We describe the basic theoretical and computational tools used to investigate these effects, and review the research to date.
