Study and Optimization of Atmospheric Propagation of Partially Coherent Vortex Beams

Abstract

The objective of this project was to investigate the behavior of partially coherent beams possessing orbital angular momentum (partially coherent vortex beams, or PCVBs) with the goal of applying and optimizing them for stable propagation through the atmosphere. A number of novel beam classes were developed and their propagation characteristics studied computationally.
