13. For the sake of generality, we have allowed there to be turbulence in the reference path, although a lens could be used to cast a minified reference-beam pattern onto a CCD camera within a protected environment near the source, hence avoiding turbulence on that path.

18. A similar square-law approximation is available for cases in which the turbulence strength is not uniformly distributed along each propagation path, but we have opted to limit our attention to uniform distributions.

25. We say "appear classical" because the phase-sensitive cross-correlation function from Eq. always exceeds the classical limit set by the autocorrelation functions from Eq.. However, for I 1, that cross-correlation function is so close in value to the classical limit, given in Eq., to render this measure of nonclassicality exceedingly small.
