Optical Wave Propagation Modeling

This modeling tool simulates how Gaussian and vortex optical beams behave in the presence of turbulence — both in atmospheric and underwater environments. It provides deep insight into phase distortion, intensity variation, and orbital angular momentum (OAM) degradation due to random refractive index fluctuations. Ideal for engineers, physicists, and system designers working on advanced optical wireless systems, QKD, or structured light communication.
