Error rate performance analysis of coded free-space optical links over gamma-gamma atmospheric turbulence channels (2006, background): “proposed the modified Rytov theory [10]–[12], which defines the optical field as a function of perturbations which are due to large-scale and small-scale atmospheric effects.”
