Abstract
Based on the extended Huygens-Fresnel principle, scintillation of a partially coherent Gaussian Schell-model (GSM) beam propagation in weakly slant atmospheric turbulence is studied. The expression of aperture-averaging factor of the system receiver is derived. We analyzed the aperture-averaged scintillation index numerically. A comparison of the aperture-averaged scintillation of the beam propagation in slant path with that of the beam propagation in horizontal path is made. Results obtained show using partially coherent beams and considering aperture-averaging effect can decrease the scintillation and improve the optical communication system performance.
