Resumen:
A generalization of the method of random wave vectors [Appl. Opt. 36,
464 (1997)] that is suitable for a simulation of turbulence-induced
anisoplanatic effects is proposed. A simulation of the cross-correlated
phase fluctuations produced by two initially plane waves propagating
through weak turbulence is considered. The variation of C-n(2) along a
propagation path and an effect of the finite outer scale of the
turbulence are included in the simulation. The validity of the
simulation method is verified by comparison of theoretical and simulated
results. The simulation approach developed can be used in the problems
related to adaptive optics, speckle inteferometry, guide stars, and
imaging through turbulence. (C) 1999 Optical Society of America.
