Abstract

We consider wave propagation in random media in the paraxial regime. We show how to solve the equations for the second- and fourth-order moment of the field in the regime where the correlation length of the medium is smaller than the initial beam width. We quantify the scintillation of the transmitted field and the statistical stability of the Wigner transform. We finally discuss a few applications to correlation-based communication and imaging methods.
