Abstract

In this paper, the physical layer security (PLS) of fractional orbital angular momentum (OAM) multiplexing under atmospheric turbulence channels is studied. Based on the PLS theory, the secrecy capacities and the probabilities of positive secrecy capacities of fractional OAM (FrOAM) multiplexing systems with different topological charge intervals are analyzed. The influence of the eavesdropping ratio and the power allocation on secrecy capacities are compared. The simulation results show that, under the finite aperture limitation, the FrOAM multiplexing technique provides higher security over the integer OAM multiplexing in terms of the total secrecy capacities under weak and medium turbulence.
