Influence of system jitter on far field of coherently combined beams propagation in turbulent atmosphere

In order to study the influence of system jitter on far field of coherently combined beams propagating in turbulent atmosphere,the expression for the far field energy distribution,affected by jitter of the system,was deduced based on Huygens-Fresnel principle.Taking a hexagonal-shaped laser array as an example,the influence of jitter on far-field was also analyzed with different turbulent intensity or transmission distance.The restricted phase jitter was depicted under the condition that the maximum intensity and power in the bucket were greater than ninety-two percent of the ideal ones.It is found the maximum intensity and power in the bucket are reduced due to jitter of the system.If the scope of jitter is definite,the effect of jitter will become worse with the decrease of the turbulent intensity or transmission distance.The results are helpful to research of coherent combination propagation in turbulent atmosphere.
