The propagation of a two-photon field from down-conversion of a partially coherent Gaussian Schell-model (GSM) pump beam in free space has been reported. However, the propagation of this two-photon field through a turbulent atmosphere has not been investigated yet. In this paper, an analytical expression of the coincidence count rate of the two-photon entangled field is derived. Unlike what has been reported, the field is from a parameter down-conversion of a partially coherent dark hollow pump beam and propagates through a turbulent atmosphere. The effects of the propagation parameters on the coincidence count rate are evaluated and illustrated. The results show that the pump beam parameters and atmospheric turbulence can evidently affect the detection probability of the photon pair at two different positions. It is found that the detection probability of the two-photon field is higher, and thus less susceptible to turbulence, if the field is produced by a lower mode of partially coherent pump beam.
