Propagation Properties of an Astigmatic Cos-Gaussian Beam through Turbulent Atmosphere

We use the extended Huygens-Fresnel integral to investigate the propagation properties of a cos-Gaussian beam (cosGB) with astigmatism in atmospheric turbulence. The intensity distribution behaviour along the propagation distance for an astigmatic cosGB in atmospheric turbulence are analytically and numerically demonstrated. Some novel phenomena are presented graphically, indicating that the intensity distribution and the on-axial intensity closely depend on the astigmatic parameter and the turbulent structure constant of the cosGBs in the atmospheric turbulence
