Herein, we derive the expression for the atmospheric refractive index structure constant under the influence of planar acoustic wave perturbations under the influence of the acoustic field on the refractive index and energy of the atmosphere. Utilizing the low-frequency compensated power spectrum inversion technique, we simulate the refractive index power spectrum of atmospheric turbulence perturbed by a planar acoustic wave. Numerical analysis is conducted on the transmission characteristics of the vortex light superposition states in atmospheric turbulence perturbed by a plane acoustic wave under different acoustic wave transmission heights, acoustic pressure amplitudes, and frequencies. Results indicate that introducing an acoustic field induces fluctuations in the atmospheric refractive index structure constant, with a more pronounced impact on the refractive index than on energy. Compared with the sole consideration of the impact of the acoustic field on the atmospheric refractive index, incorporating its effect on atmospheric energy results in a decrease in the atmospheric refractive index structure constant. The impact of the acoustic field on atmospheric turbulence is directly proportional to both acoustic pressure amplitude and frequency. The influence of the acoustic field on the transmission properties of the vortex optical superposition state varies with different acoustic transmission distances. Consequently, the transmission characteristics of the vortex light superposition state can be actively modulated according to varying acoustic wave transmission distances. This study offers a theoretical basis for modulating the optical field transmission characteristics via acoustic fields.
