- Optical turbulence modelling and simulation are crucial for developing astronomical ground-based instruments, laser communication, laser metrology, or any application where light propagates through a turbulent medium. In the context of spectrum-based optical turbulence Monte-Carlo simulations, we present an alternative approach to the methods based on the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) using a quasi-random frequency sampling heuristic. This approach provides complete control over the spectral information expressed in the simulated measurable, without the drawbacks encountered with FFT-based methods such as high-frequency aliasing, low-frequency under-sampling, and static sampling statistics. The method's heuristics, implementation, and an application example from the study of differential piston fluctuations are discussed.
