Popis: The effects of the jet engine turbulence on a Gaussian Schell-Model (GSM) beam array propagating in a jet engine plume are studied theoretically. The analytical expressions of the cross-spectral density (CSD) function, the spectral degree of coherence (DOC) and the mean-squared beam width for a GSM beam array propagating through a jet engine plume region are derived based on the extended Huyens-Fresnel integral. It is found that the profile of spectral density and the DOC of a GSM beam array gradually transfer to an elliptical shape as the propagation distance increases, and the elliptical degree becomes greater with increasing source coherence length. Besides, as the source coherence length decreases, the effect of the jet engine turbulence on the beam broadening is smaller and the profile of the DOC appears sidelobes at short distance. It is also found that the values of effective coherence width nearly remain the same for different values of source coherence length after propagating a certain distance. Furthermore, the effects of the number of beamlets on the beam width and effective coherence width are investigated in detail.
