Definition: atmospheric-turbulence plates are passive phase optics simulating random turbulence-induced wavefront distortion in laboratories, reproducing propagation effects instead of field trials. Applications include beam propagation, adaptive optics, and free-space communications. Random atmospheric index variations create path differences, beam wander, scintillation, blur, and distortion. Precision random substrate microstructures matching turbulence statistics impose equivalent transmitted phase perturbations. See schematic. Parameters: 1. Design wavelengths: UV/visible/NIR-to-far-IR, 193nm~10.6μm. 2. Coherence length r0 indicates strength: smaller r0 means stronger turbulence at the same wavelength. 3. OPD PV/RMS quantifies large phase fluctuations. Phase-modulation expressions refer to path difference/transmitted phase, with n substrate index, h(x,y) random relief height, and λ incident wavelength. Principle: solid thickness variations replicate atmospheric random-index path differences. At normal incidence: (1) n is constant. (2) Random relief d(r) is fabricated. (3) Different thicknesses create spatial OPD. Precision design enforces Kolmogorov or Von Kármán phase statistics, yielding equivalent random distortion after transmission for indoor simulation. The source emphasizes phase-only perturbation without ideal intensity change as consistent with real turbulence. Processing/customization: over twenty years' domestic optics experience and proprietary micro/nano lithography support independent development. Full simulation, customized Fried length r₀, inner/outer scales, OPD matching, optimization, production, and testing are controlled in-house. Micrometer structural precision, good profiles, close Kolmogorov/Von Kármán agreement, and accurate fitting reproduce atmospheric distortion. Fused silica, silicon, germanium, and zinc selenide cover UV/visible/NIR-to-far-IR. Small research and large industrial orders are supported. Applications include closed-loop adaptive optics, free-space communication simulation, Hartmann tests, long-range detection, laser propagation, astronomical simulation, and infrared-system tests. Precise profiles, standard statistics, and environmental stability earn customer recognition. Captions: schematic; photograph; phase distribution.
