Abstract

The propagation properties of a vortex Hermite-cosh-Gaussian beam (vHChGB) in atmospheric turbulence are investigated based on the extended Huygens–Fresnel diffraction integral and Rytov method. The analytical formula for the average intensity of a vHChGB propagating in turbulent atmosphere is derived in detail. The influence of the turbulence strength on the intensity distribution under the change of beam parameters conditions is illustrated numerically and discussed. Results show that the profile of the initial vHChGB remains unchanged within small propagation distance range, and at certain propagation distance a central peak intensity appears, and finally the beam evolves into Gaussian profile–like in far-field. The rising speed of the central peak intensity is faster when the turbulence strength is larger or the beam parameters such as the beam order, the vortex charge and the Gaussian waist width are smaller. With a small decentered parameter b, the beam profile changes faster as the wavelength is larger, whereas the reverse behavior occurs when b is large. The obtained results may be useful for the practical applications of vHChGB in optical communications and remote sensing.
