- Abstract: Self-focusing partially coherent beams with circular coherence have shown high potential for robust propagation through atmospheric turbulence. In this paper, we introduce a criteria to approximate the degrading effects of turbulence and we show that how the coherence of the source can be optimized to generate a beam with the highest stability in turbulence. To test our prediction, we analytically compare the turbulence propagation of the OAM spectrum of circularly coherent Gaussian vortex sources with three different coherence parameters. It is shown that by satisfying the introduced optimizing conditions, we can minimize the adverse effects of turbulence on the OAM spectrum.
