Abstract:

The new algorithm for calculation of phase incursion of coherent electromagnetic waves propagating through inhomogeneous refractive medium is considered. The method is based on construction of energy-flux trajectories, which tangent coincides with Umov-Poynting vector. Availability of this method is shown for the case of propagation through turbulent atmosphere.
