A laser beam propagating to a remote target through atmospheric turbulence acquires intensity fluctuations. If the target is cooperative and provides a coherent return beam, the phase measured near the beam transmitter and adaptive optics can, in principle, correct these fluctuations. Generally, however, the target is uncooperative. In this case, we show that an incoherent return from the target can be used instead. Using the principle of reciprocity, we derive a novel relation between the field at the target and the reflected field at a detector. We simulate an adaptive optics system that utilizes this relation to focus a beam through atmospheric turbulence onto the incoherent surface.

Correlated imaging through atmospheric turbulence is studied, and the analytical expressions describing turbulence effects on image resolution are derived. Compared with direct imaging, correlated imaging can reduce the influence of turbulence to a c
ertain extent and reconstruct high-resolution images. The result is backed up by numerical simulations, in which turbulence-induced phase perturbations are simulated by random phase screens inserting propagation paths.
We present a new method for the generation of atmospheric turbulence phase screens based on the frequency shift property of the Fourier transform. This method produces low spatial frequency distortions without additional computation time penalties as
sociated with methods using subharmonic subgrids. It is demonstrated that for simulations of atmospheric turbulence with finite outer scales, the performance of our method with respect to the statistical phase structure function of the screen meets or exceeds other methods with respect to agreement with theory. We outline small-scale accuracy issues associated with modelling non-Kolmogorov spectral power laws using existing techniques, and propose a solution. For simulations of long-range propagation through atmospheric optical turbulence, our method provides various advantages over standard methods.
The need for precise manipulation of nanoparticles in gaseous or near-vacuum environments is encountered in many studies that include aerosol morphology, nanodroplet physics, nanoscale optomechanics, and biomolecular physics. Photophoretic forces, wh
ereby momentum exchange between a particle and surrounding gas is induced with optical light, were recently shown to be a robust means of trapping and manipulating nanoparticles in air. We previously proposed a photophoretic optical funnel concept for the delivery of bioparticles to the focus of an x-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) beam for femtosecond x-ray diffractive imaging. Here, we describe the formation of a high-aspect-ratio optical funnel and provide a first experimental demonstration of this concept by transversely compressing and concentrating a high-speed beam of aerosolized viruses by a factor of three in a low-pressure environment. These results pave the way toward improved sample delivery efficiency for XFEL imaging experiments as well as other forms of imaging and spectroscopy.
Free-space optical communication is a promising means to establish versatile, secure and high-bandwidth communication for many critical point-to-point applications. While the spatial modes of light offer an additional degree of freedom to increase th
e information capacity of an optical link, atmospheric turbulence can introduce severe distortion to the spatial modes and lead to data degradation. Here, we propose and demonstrate a vector-beam-based, turbulence-resilient communication protocol, namely spatial polarization differential phase shift keying (SPDPSK), that can encode a large number of information levels using orthogonal spatial polarization states of light. We show experimentally that the spatial polarization profiles of the vector modes are resilient to atmospheric turbulence, and therefore can reliably transmit high-dimensional information through a turbid channel without the need of any adaptive optics for beam compensation. We construct a proof-of-principle experiment with a controllable turbulence cell. Using 34 vector modes, we have measured a channel capacity of 4.84 bits per pulse (corresponding to a data error rate of 4.3%) through a turbulent channel with a scintillation index larger than 1. Our SPDPSK protocol can also effectively transmit 4.02 bits of information per pulse using 18 vector modes through even stronger turbulence with a scintillation index of 1.54. Our study provides direct experimental evidence on how the spatial polarization profiles of vector beams are resilient to atmospheric turbulence and paves the way towards practical, high-capacity, free-space communication solutions with robust performance under harsh turbulent environments.
We describe a new model for image propagation through open air in the presence of changes in the index of refraction (e.g. due to turbulence) using the theory of optimal transport. We describe the relationship between photon density, or image intensi
ty, and the phase of the traveling wave and, together with a least action principle, suggest a method for approximately recovering the solution of the photon flow. By linking atmospheric propagation solutions to optimal transport, we provide a physics-based (as opposed to phenomenological) model for predicting turbulence-induced changes to sequences of images. Simulated and real data are utilized to validate and compare the model to other existing methods typically used to model this type of data. Given its superior performance in describing experimental data, the new model suggests new algorithms for a variety of atmospheric imaging applications.
