Abstract
Based on the Rytov approximation theory, the analytical formulae for the mode detection probability and channel capacity of the partially coherent pin-like optical (PCPO) vortex beams propagating in oceanic turbulence are obtained. The effects of light source parameters and oceanic turbulence parameters on the transmission characteristics of the PCPO vortex beams are analyzed in detail by numerical simulations. According to numerical results, a larger spatial coherence length of the partially coherent source endows the beams with a superior channel capacity performance while accompanied by a decrease in transmission robustness. Meanwhile, PCPO vortex beam with greater phase modulation power parameter and longer wavelength is conducive to enhancing the transmission quality through oceanic turbulence. In addition, the channel capacity of the system can be effectively augmented with the increase of the dissipation rate of kinetic energy per unit mass of fluid, the anisotropy factor, the inner scale radius and the decrease of the mean square temperature dissipation rate, the temperature-salinity contribution ratio. The results also indicate that PCPO vortex beam is a better candidate than Gaussian vortex beam for long-distance transmission. This paper provides a theoretical reference for studying an underwater communication link using PCPO vortex beams as the transmission carrier.
