We investigate the propagation of optical fields through polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) rods under atmospheric turbulence conditions, employing a generalized Lorentz dipole oscillator model with nonlinear restoring forces and dipole-dipole coupling. The theoretical framework incorporates second- and third-order anharmonic terms ($β_i|r_i|r_i$ and $α_i|r_i|^2r_i$) alongside dyadic Green's function-mediated coupling between localized dipoles. Gradient forces arising from spatially non-uniform field distributions and Lorentz force perturbations are incorporated through d'Alembert's principle, revealing an effective inertia mechanism that opposes rapid field redistribution. Modal diagonalization demonstrates that synchronized dipole oscillations can compensate turbulence-induced wavefront distortions, with the perturbation force $δF_{\text{Pert}}(t) = F'_{\text{Inertia}} - F_{\text{Inertia}}$ governing the compensation efficacy. Experimental verification employs a pseudo-random phase plate (PRPP) generating Kolmogorov-spectrum turbulence, with 200 frames recorded across four configurations: baseline, turbulence-only, and turbulence with one or two PMMA rods. Statistical analysis quantifies scintillation index variations. Results indicate that dipole-dipole coupling energy transitions enable partial turbulence compensation when stronger suppression observed for longer propagation paths through increased synchronization.
