Abstract

We introduce perfect correlation vortices and show that the degree of coherence of any such vortex at the source is nearly statistically homogeneous and independent of the topological charge of the vortex. We demonstrate that while slowly diffracting in free space, perfect correlation vortices maintain their "perfect" vortex structure; they are capable of preserving said structure even in strong atmospheric turbulence. Structural resilience to diffraction and turbulence sets the discovered perfect vortices apart from their coherent cousins and makes them suitable for free-space optical communications.
