title: Second-order statistics of stochastic electromagnetic beams propagating through non-Kolmogorov turbulence.
abstract: We present a detailed investigation, qualitative and quantitative, on how the atmospheric turbulence with a non-Kolmogorov power spectrum affects the major statistics of stochastic electromagnetic beams, such as the spectral composition and the states of coherence and polarization. We suggest a detailed survey on how these properties evolve on propagation of beams generated by electromagnetic Gaussian Schell-model sources, depending on the fractal constant alpha of the atmospheric power spectrum.
