Experimental setup for generating the GSM beam (part A) and measuring its intensity correlations in the lab-generated turbulence by using the slow (part B) and fast (part C) detectors. NDF: neutral density filter; BE: beam expander; RM: reflected mirror: L₁ and L₂: thin lenses; RGGD: rotating ground glass disk; GAF: Gaussian amplitude filter; SLM: spatial light modulator; BS: beam splitter; D₁ and D₂: single photon detectors; CC: coincidence circuit.
