  • Abstract
    In this paper, a novel model for the atmosphere as an optical communication channel is investigated. In this model an unbounded plane wave operating under weak irradiance fluctuation conditions is assumed, considering a second-order Gaussian statistical model as reference. Here, the obtained spectrum is compared with the more physically realistic 1d theoretical equivalent one, generated from the 3d Kolmogorov spectrum. The obtained results show a very good accuracy and a great reduction of computational complexity
