Intensity of the on-axis Li’s flat-topped Gaussian vortex beam as influenced by a turbulent environment
摘要
The purpose of this paper is to introduce the so-called Li’s flat-topped Gaussian vortex (LFTGV) beam as a novel vortex beam, generated by converting the conventional Li’s flattened Gaussian beam phase with the help of a spiral phase plate (SPP) tool. Using the Huygens-Fresnel principle integral, we investigate the behavior of the axial intensity of the LFTGV beam in a turbulent environment. To demonstrate how the turbulence strength, wavelength, beam order, and other factors affect the on-axis intensity, numerical simulations are conducted. The findings highlight the robustness and adaptability of the LFTGV beam, suggesting potential applications in free-space optical communication, optical trapping, imaging through turbid media, and other turbulence-resilient optical systems.
