Abstract

The reconstruction of the spatial intensity distribution of structurally stable axially symmetrical beams in free space optical data transmitting channels has been studied experimentally. The structure transformation invariants of а beam as а space code bearer are discussed. The correlation and dispersion parameters of a random process of optical density modulation are estimated; a possibility of their multiple differences in different directions perpendicular to the beam axis is shown.
