Scintillation Increase Induced by Focusing (Invited)
We show that the focusing of a random electromagnetic beam by a lens gives rise to a scintillation index at the geometrical focus that generally differs from that of the incident beam. In the examples we present, focusing produces a significant increase of the index. This observation is of particula...
