Simulating thick atmospheric turbulence in the lab with application to orbital angular momentum communication
We describe a procedure by which a long ( $\gtrsim 1\,\text{km}$ ) optical path through atmospheric turbulence can be experimentally simulated in a controlled fashion and scaled down to distances easily accessible in a laboratory setting. This procedure is then used to simulate a 1 km long free-spac...
