Abstract
We make an analysis on scintillation behavior of Airy beam using the Rytov method. To this end, scintillation index is formulated for a single receiver coordinate location. Area scintillation expressions are also derived. At peaks of receiver intensity, Airy beam is found to offer quite less scintillation at width values of around 1.6cm. Furthermore, smaller values of the exponential truncation factor are also seen to cause less scintillation. When compared to Gaussian beam, on equal source and received power basis, it is observed that Airy beam will generally have less area scintillation.
