Pseudo-partially coherent beam

Multi-Gaussian Schell Model

Irradiance fluctuations of a pseudo Multi-Gaussian Schell Model beam propagating in the maritime environment is explored as a function of spatial light modulator cycling rate and estimated atmospheric turnover rate. Analysis of the data demonstrates a strong negative correlation between the scintillation index of received optical intensity and cycling speed for the estimated atmospheric turnover rate. •Over-the-water spatially pseudopartially coherent beam field test performed.•Multi-Gaussian Schell Model beam class was used for the test.•Strong negative correlation between scintillation index and phase screen cycling rate.
