Optical Wave Propagation Through Inhomogeneous Random Medium - The Solution of them-nth Moment Equation of Multiple Scattering

The analytic solution of the multiple scattering m-n th moment equation with different wave numbers and different position is given in the small angle scattering approximation for optical wave propagated through such a random medium that the material parameter fluctuates inhomogeneously in the direction of propagation and homogeneously in the direction transverse to the propagation path. The applications of the solution to the problems related with the optical beam propagation is discussed.
