Stochastic models for laser propagation in atmospheric turbulence (Q1188746)

The monograph deals with a rigorous analysis of several function space models for laser propagation in turbulence using the Hilbert space valued white noise theory, and provides a digital simulation of a laser beam propagation as random turbulence. The book will be useful in the area of optical communication, tracking and nuclear scintillation effects on satellite communications. The monograph has six chapters: Introduction; Wave propagation in a random medium; White noise in Hilbert spaces; Product formula solutions; Feynman path integrals. The appendices cover simulation software, additional simulation results, and simulation verification. The monograph can be used as a graduate text in mathematics and electrical engineering.
