AtmsophericPath models optical propagation through atmospheric turbulence. The atmosphere is modeled using multiple "phase screens", typically 5-20, distributed along the propagation path. Each phase screen represents the cumulative optical path differences for a slab of atmosphere, and in between phase screens we perform vacuum propagations, using a two-step FFT propagator.

Parameters
atm	AtmPathBase	Atmosphere to be propagated through.	AtmPathBase()
propGrid	GridGeometry	Geometry to be used for propagation.	GridGeometry()
Inputs
incomingIncident	WaveTrain	Describes all light incident from the "incoming" direction	WaveTrain()
outgoingIncident	WaveTrain	Describes all light incident from the "outgoing" direction	WaveTrain()
Outputs
incomingTransmitted	WaveTrain	Describes all light transmitted in the "incoming" direction
outgoingTransmitted	WaveTrain	Describes all light transmitted in the "outgoing" direction
