Abstract

A class of random source for circular optical frame is generalized to electromagnetic domain. Analytical formulas for the propagation of the electromagnetic source for circular frames combinations through atmospheric turbulence are derived. As two examples, the statistic characteristics of a single circular frame and two nested frames are comparatively studied in free space and in non-Kolmogorov's atmospheric turbulence. The evolutions of the degree of polarization and the degree of coherence of such circular frames exhibit unique features. The impacts, arising from the refractive-index structure constant, the fractal constant of the atmospheric spectrum and the upper index in the source degree of coherence, on the statistical characteristics are analyzed in detail.
