Abstract

Hypersonic turbulence, causing the environment disturbance, is an important factor influencing optical propagation and optical communication. Based on the extended Huygens-Fresnel principle and second-order moments of the Wigner distribution function, we have derived the analytical expressions of the average intensity, the normalized propagation factor, and the normalized mean-squared beam width of Gaussian Schell-model beams in anisotropic hypersonic turbulence. The evolution properties demonstrate the severe beam expansion and beam quality degradation, and the influences of the source and turbulent parameters are discussed in detail. The comparison between anisotropic hypersonic turbulence and atmosphere turbulence is given, and it is proved that the influence of anisotropic hypersonic turbulence is much stronger. Our results play a guiding role in optical signal transmission in the turbulent environment induced by hypersonic aircraft.
