Abstract
The scintillation index for a plane wave in weak to deep turbulence is studied with wave optics simulations for several atmospheric spectrum models. The simulations generally predict peak scintillation values for σR ≈ 2 and comparisons with analytical theory show the simulations predict significantly higher scintillation, particularly for small inner scale values.
