Propagation of cylindrical vector beams in a turbulent atmosphere

<正>Based on the extended Huygens-Presnel principle,the propagation of cylindrical vector beams in a turbulent atmosphere is investigated.The intensity distribution and the polarization degree of beams on propagation are studied. It is found that the beam profile has a Gaussian shape under the influence of the atmospheric turbulence,and the polarization distribution shows a dip in the cross section as the beam propagates in the turbulent atmosphere.It is also found that the beam profile and the polarization distribution are closely related to beam parameter and atmospheric turbulence.
