dc.description.abstractOptical beam spread and beam quality factor in the presence of both quartic phase aberrations and atmospheric turbulence is numerically analyzed. We obtain analytical expressions for both the mean-square beam radius and the beam quality factor using the moment method, and we compare these expressions to the results from Monte Carlo simulations, which allows us to mutually validate the theory and the Monte Carlo simulation codes. We also discuss the reason for the discrepancy between the classical approach for calculating the ensemble-averaged mean-square beam radius in a turbulent atmosphere that is described by Andrews and Phillips and by Fante versus using the moment method.
