基于广义惠更斯菲涅耳原理分析了高斯谢尔光束通过湍流大气漫射目标的散射统计特性。假定相位结构函数起主导作用,根据高斯谢尔光束的交叉密度函数,推导了散斑场的互相干函数表达式,进而得出接收面处的散斑尺寸大小和强湍流起伏的时延协方差函数表达式。数值分析了源相干长度、波长、湍流强度对互相干函数的影响。对理想漫射目标,接收面的散斑尺寸大小由束腰宽度、源相干长度和湍流强度确定,随着湍流强度的增加,散斑尺寸变小;在弱湍流区,散斑尺寸由源相干长度决定,当湍流增强时,散斑尺寸大小逐渐趋于一致。     

湍流大气脉冲波束经漫射目标散射的统计特性

基于广义惠更斯-菲涅耳原理和粗糙面散射理论,考虑发射机到目标和目标到接收机双程路径中大气湍流对光束传输的影响,研究了脉冲波束经漫射目标散射后的二阶统计特性。推导了接收机处双点双频互相干函数(MCF)的表达式,计算得到平均强度以及复相干度因子,并对此进行数值模拟。结果表明,相位结构函数占优情况下,接收面的脉冲平均强度与大气湍流水平无关;但脉冲相干带宽与湍流强度、中心频率、湍流外尺度、观察处两点间距离、频差有关。     

海洋湍流下涡旋光束经粗糙面的回波特性

光场回波散射特性是未来水下激光通信与探测一体化的关键技术之一,而具有螺旋波前结构的涡旋光束[如拉盖尔-高斯（LG）光束]更适合抑制海洋湍流的影响。利用广义Huygens-Fresnel原理,推导出弱海洋湍流中LG光束经高斯分布粗糙表面反射的回波散斑强度的解析表达式;数值分析了光源参数、海洋湍流以及粗糙目标表面参数对回波散斑场复相干度的影响。结果表明,复相干度随着LG光束拓扑荷数、束腰半径、波长的增大而减小,随着海洋湍流强度的增大而降低,随着粗糙面相干长度的增加而增大,并且当粗糙表面的相干长度大于球形波在海洋湍流中传播的相干长度时,复相干度变化不明显,表明此时粗糙表面对复相干度的影响远小于海洋湍流的影响。这一结论为海洋湍流条件下目标探测与识别提供了参考。

Statistic of a Gaussian beam from an arbitrary rough target in the single passage atmospheric turbulence

The extended Huygens-Fresnel principle and Goodman model was utilized for target surface to derive the mutual coherence function (MCF) of a Gaussian beam reflected from an arbitrary rough target in atmospheric turbulence. According to the MCF, expressions of the mean irradiance and average speckle size at the receiver were obtained. The analysis indicated that the mean intensity is closely related to the ratio of root mean square (rms) height to the lateral correlation length. In addition, the speckle size at the receiver is associated with turbulence strength, propagation distance and roughness of the target. The results can be reduced to the result of a Gaussian beam illuminating rough target and scattering from a target in free space.     

Speckle statistical properties of Gaussian beam from a semi-rough target in the atmospheric turbulence

Based on extended Huygens–Fresnel principle and Goodman model for target surface, analytic expression is developed for the mutual coherent function (MCF) of a reflected Gaussian-beam from a semi-rough target in single-pass atmospheric turbulence. Then according to the MCF we derive expression about the mean intensity and average speckle size at the receiver. The analysis indicates that the mean intensity is closely related to the ratio of root mean square (rms) height to the lateral correlation length; in addition, the speckle size is associated with turbulence strength and roughness of target. Our results agree with well-known the limiting cases of perfectly smooth and Lambertian target.     

Effects of a modified spectral model on the spatial coherence of a laser beam

The influence of a modified (bump) spectrum of refractive index fluctuations on the spatial coherence of an optical wave is studied here and compared with that based on a von Karman spectrum. Analytical expressions are derived for the mutual coherence function (MCF) and wave structure function (WSF) of a lowest-order Gaussian beam wave from which the beam spot size and degree of coherence are deduced. The qualitative behaviour of beam spreading and coherence length is basically the same for both spectral models. Also, when the radius of the Fresnel zone and initial beam radius are of comparable size, the presence of a spectral bump appears to have minimal effect on spatial coherence for all beams. However, the choice of spectral model is important for certain ranges of parameters. In particular, the implied spatial coherence length for a collimated beam based on the modified spectrum is significantly smaller than that based on the von Karman spectrum whenever the Fresnel zone is either much larger or much smaller than the initial beam radius, whereas for a focused beam the predicted coherence length based on the modified spectrum is slightly larger when the Fresnel zone size is much smaller than the initial beam radius.     

Echo-wave scattering characteristics of the diffuse target in the slant atmospheric turbulence

The extended Huygens–Fresnel principle is utilized to make analysis of the received intensity for laser beam propagation through the atmospheric turbulence in the slant path. For a diffuse target, the effects of the turbulence on the statistical parameters such as the mutual coherence function and the mean intensity are studied in detail. The influence of the incident wave radius and the distance of the incident beam on these parameters are discussed.     

Scattering of a general partially coherent beam from a diffuse target in atmospheric turbulence

The second-order and fourth-order statistical moments of the speckle field from a diffuse target in atmospheric turbulence are studied which have great influence on the performance of lidar systems. By expanding a general rotationally symmetric beam as a sum of Gaussian–Schell model(GSM) beams, the mean intensity of the general beam propagating over a distance in an atmospheric turbulence is formulated. Expressions for the degree of coherence(DOC) and the normalized intensity variance of the scattered field of a general beam from a rough surface in turbulence are derived based on the extended Huygens–Fresnel principle. The general expressions reduce to the well-known forms for a GSM beam. Another example for the general beam used in this paper is the collimated flat-topped beam. The results of both kinds of beams show that the intensity profile on the target plane is a key factor affecting the statistical characteristics of the speckle field.A larger beam spot on the target plane induces a smaller coherence length and a smaller normalized intensity variance of the received field. As turbulence gets stronger, the coherence length becomes smaller, and the normalized intensity variance firstly increases and declines to unity finally.

An effect of curvature of rotating diffuse objects on the dynamics of speckles produced in the diffraction field

The time correlation function is analyzed of the speckel intensity fluctuation produced in the Fresnel diffraction field from a rotating diffuse object under illumination of a Gaussian laser beam. The dependence of the curvature radius of the rotating diffuse object on the time correlation length of the speckle intensity fluctuation is especially explored by taking into account the size of the detecting aperture. The theoretical results are confirmed experimentally for detecting apertures with various sizes. It is shown that a detecting aperture with an appropriate size is required. It becomes useful for determining the radius of curvature of the rotating diffuse object from measurements of the time correlation length of the speckle intensity fluctuation.     

高斯-谢尔模光束在大气湍流中传输的相干特性研究

文章分析了高斯-谢尔光束在大气湍流中传输时相干长度的变化, 并与真空传输做比较, 真空传输相干长度的变化只与光源参数有关, 大气湍流中传输相干长度的变化受光源参数和湍流的共同影响. 真空传输光束扩展造成相干长度增大; 大气湍流中, 传输距离较短时, 相干长度由于光源扩展而增加, 当传输距离较大时, 湍流效应增强引起相干长度下降. 因此, 单纯从相干长度方面分析大气湍流带来的影响不够完备. 为排除光源扩展影响, 利用相干长度与光斑尺度的比值进行分析, 发现大气湍流会造成比值的下降. 在数值仿真的基础上对上述结果给出了解释. 关键词： 部分相干 大气湍流 高斯-谢尔模 光束扩展     

Two-frequency mutual coherence function and its applications to pulse scattering by random rough surface

An analytic expression of the two-frequency mutual coherence function (MCF) was derived for a two-dimensional random rough surface. The scattered field was calculated by the Kirchhoff approximation, which is valid in the case that the radius of curvature of the surface is much larger than the incident wave length. The scattering problem of narrowband pulse was investigated to simplify the analytic expression of the two-frequency MCF. Numerical simulations show that the two-frequency MCF is greatly dependent on the root-mean-square (RMS) height, while less dependent on the correlation length. The analytic solutions were compared with the results of Monte Carlo simulation to assess the accuracy and computational efficiency.
