Abstract
Theoretical research of coherent properties of vortex conic waves propagating in a turbulent atmosphere was developed. The analysis was based on the analytical solution of the equation for the transverse second-order mutual coherence function of a light field. The following characteristics of coherence of vortex conic waves were considered: the coherence degree, the coherence radius, the root-mean-square and the integral scale of coherence degree. Dependence of these characteristics on the parameters of optical radiation and turbulent atmosphere was analyzed. Unlike the coherence radius, the root-mean-square and integral scales of the coherence degree of vortex conic waves were found to be highly sensitive to the influence of atmospheric turbulence.
