Development of Singular Points in a Beam Passed Phase Screen Simulating Atmospheric Turbulence and Precision of Such a Screen Approximation by Zernike Polynomials
This article addresses two issues. Firstly, it was shown that if the initial phase of a Gaussian beam is specified by the sum of Zernike polynomials or by a screen simulating atmospheric turbulence, in the process of propagation, singular points appear in the wavefront of such a beam. With the use o...
