Analytical propagation formulae for the propagation factors are derived and numerical examples are illustrated. We find that unlike their propagation invariant properties in free space, the propagation factors of laser array beams increase when propagating in turbulent atmosphere, and are closely related to the parameters of initial beams and the atmosphereeninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessLaser Array BeamsPropagation FactorTurbulent AtmospherePropagation factors of laser array beams in turbulent atmospherePropagation Factors of Laser Array Beams in Turbulent AtmosphereArticle57862163110.1080/09500340.2010.483291
