title: Two spatial light modulator system for laboratory simulation of random beam propagation in random media: comment.
abstract: In a recent paper [Appl. Opt.55, 1112 (2016)APOPAI0003-693510.1364/AO.55.001112], the authors present a procedure for synthesizing Gaussian phase screens to generate Schell-model sources. Their synthesis method is analyzed, revealing interesting phenomena not fully described by the authors.
