摘要：
Asymptotic analysis of on-axis intensity fluctuation variance of a finite-sized light beam is performed starting from the functional integral representation for the field in a random medium. Collimated, diverging and converging beams with different diffraction properties are considered. A complete set of asymptotes is obtained using the main and additional coherence channels approach to the fourth moment of field analyses. We study the conditions of weak and strong fluctuation regimes for all these types of beams and obtain relatively simple formulae for on-axis intensity variance, which are valid for the case of stratified turbulence. It is shown that scintillations in the vicinity of the beam focus are governed by double-scattering processes for weak scintillations and double scattering from coherence channels for strong fluctuations.
