Paper Abstract
General anisotropy leads to different effects along the horizontal axis of a propagating beam than along the vertical axis.
To better understand these effects, we developed theoretical models for beam diameter, mean intensity, and scintillation
index of a Gaussian-beam wave. Two methods, valid in both weak and strong fluctuation regimes, are compared to
determine beam diameter. Scintillation-index contours exhibit an elliptical shape corresponding to anisotropy while
mean-intensity contours vary with path length and have no such obvious correspondence. The mean-intensity and
scintillation-index analyses are based on weak-irradiance-fluctuation theory.
