The Orbital Angular Momentum Spreading for Cylindrical Vector Beams in Turbulent Atmosphere

The cylindrical vector beams (CVBs) compose two circularly polarized vortex beams carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM) states with the opposite topological charge. We derived the probabilities for OAM of high-order CVB propagation through turbulent atmosphere. The calculated probabilities of OAM...

description The cylindrical vector beams (CVBs) compose two circularly polarized vortex beams carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM) states with the opposite topological charge. We derived the probabilities for OAM of high-order CVB propagation through turbulent atmosphere. The calculated probabilities of OAM are based on the polarization insensitive element detection and phase perturbation coherence function assumption. The numerical calculation results show that the probabilities of OAM state spreading to neighbor states of CVBs through turbulent atmosphere increase with the propagation distance increase. Under the same conditions, the spreading of OAM for CVBs are weaker than Laguerre–Gaussian beam propagation through turbulent atmosphere. The results show that the OAM state of CVBs could improve the performance of optical communications systems in atmospheric turbulence.
