Abstract

The given article presents the results of the investigation of the vortex laser beam reflection off a diffuse target in turbulent medium. Expressions of the mutual coherence function (MCF) and the relative intensity enhancement factor (REF) of a laser beam at the receiver plane are derived. The effect of the initial phase dislocation in the laser field distribution on the MCF and the REF of a backward wave at the receiver plane is investigated.
