Control of Coherence of Laser Beam for Optical Communication in Turbulent Atmosphere (Invited Paper)
Recent studies show that the control of coherence of laser beams is needed for applications in optical communication, control, command and computation in the turbulent atmosphere. Collett-Wolf beam, which is a partial coherent source, can produce a field as directional as a laser beam, although from a global viewpoint the source is nearly spatially-incoherent.Such a beam with unique features of no speckle noise has been widely used for imaging, illumination, and pointing. However, further study of such beams is needed for coherence reduction,control and modification for optical communication in the turbulent atmosphere.
