Abstract
Understanding the impact of atmospheric turbulence on optical beam propagation is vital for the analysis and optimization of free-space optical communication systems. Recent proposals have indicated the potential of structured light beams to sustain coherence even in turbulent channels. In this study, we employ the split-step Fourier method as a modeling technique to simulate the propagation of structured light beams in turbulent free space. By investigating the behavior of structured light under these conditions, we aim to uncover valuable insights and strategies for mitigating the disruptive effects of turbulence in optical communication.
