The performance of partially coherent free-space optical links is investigated in the moderate to strong fluctuation regime of non-Kolmogorov turbulence. The expressions for large- and small-scale log-irradiance flux variance are obtained in non-Kolmogorov turbulence. By employing the gamma-gamma distribution of irradiance fluctuations, the effects of spatial coherence of the source, index of non-Kolmogorov spectrum, and size of the receiver on channel capacity for horizontal links are discussed. Results show that channel capacity presents fluctuating behaviors with the variation of alpha for longer links and increases for alpha values higher than 11/3.

The competition between turbulence and thermal blooming significantly affects the propagation characteristics of laser beams in the atmosphere. Here, taking the propagation of a vortex beam array in a non-Kolmogorov marine atmosphere as an example, we have quantitatively analyzed the competition between turbulence and thermal blooming. The atmospheric coherence length is adopted to evaluate the turbulence strength, while a modified thermal distortion parameter is developed to evaluate the thermal blooming strength of vortex beam arrays in non-Kolmogorov turbulence.

To investigate a novel type of vortex beam (termed as gamma beam) and its application in free-space optical communication (FSO), a comprehensive analysis of its transmission performance in weak-to-strong non-Kolmogorov turbulence has been conducted for the first time. Based on the extended Rytov method, the propagation behaviors of the gamma beam via weak-to-strong non-Kolmogorov turbulent atmosphere is explored, revealing that gamma beams may outperform LG beams and HyGG beams in certain short links.

Analytic formulas for the intensity distribution and propagation factor of the STHGSM beam in non-Kolmogorov turbulence are derived by utilizing the generalized Huygens-Fresnel principle (HFP) and the Wigner function. The evolution characteristics of STHGSM beams propagating are numerically calculated and analyzed.

This work explores the conditions resulting in the saturation of angular anisoplanatic error. When turbulence is modeled with a von Kármán outer scale or when the piston and aperture tilt are compensated the anisoplanatic error can saturate to less than one squared radian. In Kolmogorov turbulence anisoplanatic error is limited to values smaller than one when the ratio of the Fried parameter to the outer scale is 0.

However, coronal plasma turbulence severely degrades optical signals during superior solar conjunction. In this study, we introduce the models for plasma density and generalized non-Kolmogorov turbulence power spectrum.
