Abstract

New analytical expressions for the temporal power spectral models of angle of arrival (AOA) fluctuations are derived for optical plane and spherical waves propagating through weak non-Kolmogorov turbulence. They consider the finite turbulence inner and outer scales, and have a general power law value in the range of 3–4 instead of the standard power law value of 11/3. The results derived in this work can reduce correctly to the previously published analytic expressions for the case of plane and spherical waves propagation through Kolmogorov turbulence case. These results are useful for the understanding the potential impact of derivations from the standard Kolmogorov spectrum.
