High-resolution spatiotemporal reconstruction of complex optical fields enables direct testing of turbulence statistics
Researchers have developed a high-resolution method to reconstruct complex optical fields, allowing for the direct testing of turbulence statistics. The study reveals that current Gaussian-based models underestimate turbulence effects, which impacts fiber-coupling and optical detection performance.
Why it matters
Improving the accuracy of optical turbulence modeling is essential for advancing ground-based optical communication and laser systems.
