Correlation between the phase and the log-amplitude of a wave through vertical atmospheric propagation

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Expressions of the correlation between the log-amplitude and the phase of a wavefront propagating through atmospheric turbulence are presented. These expressions are useful to evaluate the feasibility of proposed methods to increase the confidence level of the detection of faint transient astronomical objects. The properties of the derived angular correlation functions are discussed using usual synthetic turbulence profiles. The close formulation between the phase and the log-amplitude allows an analytic formulation in the Rytov approximation. Equations contain the product of an arbitrary number of hypergeometric functions that are evaluated using the Mellin transforms integration method.
