Аннотация:Concepts of formation and propagation of radiation with a fractal amplitude–phase profile areanalyzed and systematized on a single methodological basis using main points of fractal physics. Motion of aplane wave through fractal phase and amplitude screens is considered. Characteristics of beams with a stochastic and a regular self-similar structure are discussed. A range of questions on direct formation of waveswith a fractal amplitude and phase distribution in laser systems is examined. The analysis shows that scalingcharacteristics complement the space–time parameters traditionally used for describing light beams. In particular, mutually complementing are statistical and fractal data on propagation of beams in the turbulentatmosphere. To date, the mathematical and physical apparatus has been developed that allows self-similarand scaling properties of radiation to be adequately described. With this apparatus, it is possible to developefficient methods for optical diagnostics of fractal structures using probing light beams. A high degree of stability of Fourier images of fractals is an important factor for increasing stability and noise immunity of opticalinformation transmission channels based on fractal beams.
