Abstract
The correlation function and the detection probability of orbital angular momentum (OAM) of a perfect optical vortex beam (POVB) were obtained under atmospheric turbulence conditions and then used to estimate the POVB propagation model through atmospheric turbulence. The POVB propagation in a turbulence-free channel can be divided into anti-diffraction and self-focusing stages. The beam profile size can be well preserved in the anti-diffraction stage as the transmission distance increases. After shrinking and focusing the POVB in the self-focusing region, the beam profile size expands in the self-focusing stage. The influence of topological charge on the beam intensity and profile size differs depending on the propagation stage. The POVB degenerates into a Bessel-Gaussian beam (BGB)-like when the ratio of the ring radius to the Gaussian beam waist approaches 1. The unique self-focusing effect of the POVB enables higher received probability compared to the BGB when propagating over long distances in atmospheric turbulence. However, the property of the POVB that its initial beam profile size is not affected by topological charge does not contribute to the POVB achieving a higher received probability than the BGB in short-range transmission application scenarios. The BGB anti-diffraction is stronger than that of the POVB, assuming a similar initial beam profile size at short-range transmission.
