Partially coherent vortex beams propagating through slant atmospheric turbulence and coherence vortex evolution

Using the extended Huygens-Fresnel principle and the quadratic approximation of the phase structure function, and taking the Gaussian Schell-model (GSM) vortex beam as a typical example of partially coherent vortex beams, the explicit expressions for the cross-spectral density function and average intensity of GSM vortex beams with topological charge m=+1 propagating through slant atmospheric turbulence are derived, and used to study the propagation properties of GSM vortex beams in atmospheric turbulence along a slant path and evolution behavior of coherence vortices. It is shown that the spreading of GSM vortex beams along a horizontal path is larger than that along a slant path in the long atmospheric propagation. The propagation through horizontal atmospheric turbulence can be treated as a special case of the altitude-independent structure constant. The position of coherence vortices in slant atmospheric turbulence does not coincide with that in horizontal atmospheric turbulence, and the dependence of position of coherence vortices on the zenith angle, wavelength and reference point is illustrated by numerical examples. A comparison with the previous work is also made.     

Composite coherence vortices and their propagation in free space

Taking Gaussian Schell-model (GSM) background vortex beams as an example of partially coherent vortex beams, the composite coherence vortices resulting from the superposition of the cross-spectral density function of two parallel, noncollinear partially coherent vortex beams and their propagation in free space are studied, and the main attention is paid to the effect of relative off-axis distance, coherence parameter and propagation distance on the composite coherence vortices. The number and location of composite coherence vortices vary by changing the relative off-axis distance, coherence parameter or propagation distance. In the coherent limit, the composite coherence vortex becomes the composite optical vortex.     

The transformation of an edge dislocation in atmospheric turbulence

The explicit expression for the cross-spectral density of partially coherent elliptical Gaussian beams carrying an edge dislocation propagating through atmospheric turbulence along a slant path is derived, and used to study the transformation of the edge dislocation in atmospheric turbulence. We find that the edge dislocation disappears and transforms to a noncanonical coherence vortex, when partially coherent elliptical Gaussian beams with edge dislocation propagate through atmospheric turbulence. The inversion of the topological charge of the coherence vortex may take place. The ellipticity of the beam and slope of the edge dislocation play a dominant role in the evolution of the coherence vortex. In the coherent limit the coherence vortex in turbulence becomes an intensity vortex, however, differing from the case in free-space propagation, the position of the intensity vortex depends on the choice of the reference point. The results are illustrated analytically and numerically.     

Propagation Characteristics of a Partially Coherent Gaussian Schell-model Array Vortex Beam in the Joint Turbulence Effect of a Jet Engine and Atmosphere

This work investigates the joint effects of jet engine exhaust-induced turbulence and atmospheric turbulence on the propagation of a partially coherent Gaussian Schell-model Array (GSMA) vortex beam. Using the two-process propagation method, analytical formulae are derived for the cross-spectral density, spectral density, degree of coherence, and beam width of the considered beam. The results show that the considered beam takes different shapes; when the spatial coherence is large, the spectral density of the GSMA vortex beam takes an elliptical shape, whereas when the spatial coherence is smaller, the spectral density remains a Gaussian shape. The evolution profile of the degree of coherence weakens gradually when the propagation distance, topological charge, and turbulence strength increase. Moreover, the profile of the degree of coherence takes the Gaussian profile when the propagation distance is longer or turbulence atmospheric is stronger. Furthermore, the results reveal that the corresponding beam spreads faster with a larger propagation distance, lower spatial coherence, and high-strength turbulence. This study also concludes from the results that the beam is affected more when its propagation is near the jet engine exhaust, which means that this latter has a significant impact.     

Study on the spatial coherence of vortex Gaussian beams passed atmospheric turbulence

In this paper, the spectral degree of coherence formula was derived by using the generalized Huygens–Fresnel principle and the method of Rytov phase structure function quadratic approximation. The spatial coherence of vortex Gaussian beams passed atmospheric turbulence was studied. It showed that the spatial coherence was mainly affected by the coherence of light source, the number of topological charges and the transmission distance. The distance of transmission was farther, the spatial coherence of beam was better. The number of topological charges were more, the spatial coherence of beam was better. In a certain transmission distance, the coherence of light source was better, the spatial coherence of beam was worse. In addition, there were coherent vortexes which spectral degree of coherence was zero after the partially coherent vortex beams getting through atmospheric turbulence transmission.
