Abstract
The generalized ray optics formulas in lossy media are derived, and the role of absorption in the scattering of a transverse electromagnetic wave by random density fluctuations is studied by the use of the Born approximation in a medium with complex permittivity for the case in which the scale of turbulence is large compared to the wavelength. Formulas for the autocorrelation of phase and amplitude are obtained.
