Turbulence simulation module for MATLAB

A new module for generating of Kolmogorov phase screen with different strength is just released. The module integrates smoothly into LightPipes for MATLAB framework and can be used to simulate light propagation under turbulent atmospheric conditions.

Some sample images obtained for different values of Fried’s coherence length are shown below (simulation area size 15 cm, Gaussian beam width 8 cm, wavelength is 633 nm, propagation length 2 km, left image without turbulence, others with r0=6 cm, 3 cm, 2cm, 1.5 cm, and 0.5 cm, resp.).
