摘要：
The influence of atmospheric turbulence on the quantum polarization fluctuations of multi-Gaussian Schell-mode (MGSM) beams is studied in detail. An analytical formula for the quantum degree of polarization of a MGSM beam propagating in a slant turbulent channel is derived. Our results show that the degree of polarization of a MGSM beam is affected more by the atmospheric turbulence than that of a GSM beam. The numerical simulations also show that a MGSM beam with higher photon-number level, shorter wavelength, bigger transverse beam width is less affected by the turbulence. (C) 2014 Elsevier GmbH.
