TLDR
The state of the art of Monte Carlo studies of randomly modulated optical waves in regular and randomly inhomogeneous nonlinear media is reviewed in this article, where a wide range of phenomena dealt with in nonlinear statistical optics are discussed, including self-phase noise pulse modulation, the selfaction of partially coherent beams, the formation and instability of solitons, stimulated Raman scattering, intensive light beams in a turbulent atmosphere, and adaptive radiation focusing.Abstract:
The state of the art of the Monte Carlo studies of randomly modulated optical waves in regular and randomly inhomogeneous nonlinear media is reviewed. A wide range of phenomena dealt with in nonlinear statistical optics are discussed, including self-phase noise pulse modulation, the self-action of partially coherent beams, the formation and instability of solitons, stimulated Raman scattering, intensive light beams in a turbulent atmosphere, and adaptive radiation focusing. Special attention is given to the justification of the phase screen model for a randomly inhomogeneous nonlinear continuum, and the numerical simulation of random light fields is discussed in detail.read more

Coherent multiple scattering effects and Monte Carlo method
TL;DR: Based on the comparison of the iteration procedure of solving the Bethe-Salpeter equation and the Monte Carlo method, this paper developed a method for simulating coherent multiple-scattering effects within the framework of a unified stochastic approach.

Numerical simulation of the effect of refractive turbulence on coherent lidar return statistics in the atmosphere
TL;DR: Under conditions of strong optical turbulence in the atmospheric boundary layer, as a result of the backscattering amplification effect, the mean lidar return power can exceed the return power in the absence of turbulence by a factor of 3.5.

Image transfer through the complex scattering turbid media
TL;DR: In this article, a Monte Carlo based computational technique is developed to simulate image transfer through complex inhomogeneous turbid media, which is able to identify the contribution of the scattering orders in the detected images for a particular medium.

Optical beam distortions induced by a shock wave.
TL;DR: It has been shown that the spatial inhomogeneity of the refractive index of air caused by the shock wave arising in supersonic flow flowing a conical body can cause the focusing of the beam and strong anisotropic distortions of the intensity distribution in its cross section.
