Abstract
The propagation of a general-type of phase-locked beam array in a turbulent atmosphere is studied, in which four practical issues, i.e., apertured, conformal, partially coherent, and flattened beam array is taken into consideration for accurate modeling of beam array in power beaming applications. The average intensity distribution in the receiving plane is deduced analytically based on extended Huygens–Fresnel principle. The influence of beam order, transverse coherence length, and truncation ratio is briefly discussed.
