Regularization of multiple filaments in atmospheric turbulence

We have demonstrated the possibility to control filamentation in the turbulent atmosphere by means of introduction of regular wavefront perturbations into the initial beam. Statistical processing of simulation results has shown that the spatial position of filaments in turbulence deviates from the similar spatial positions in the regular medium within 10% of the initial perturbation period.
