Twisted splitting and propagation factor of superimposed twisted Hermite-Gaussian Schell-model beams in turbulent
Abstract:
We believe this to be a new superposition twisted Hermite-Gaussian Schell-model (STHGSM) beam hat is proposed. Analytic formulas for the intensity distribution and propagation factor of the STHGSM beam in non-Kolmogorov turbulence are derived by utilizing the generalized Huygens-Fresnel principle (HFP) and the Wigner function. The evolution characteristics of STHGSM beams propagating are numerically calculated and analyzed. Our findings indicate that the light intensity of the STHGSM beam gradually undergoes splitting and rotation around the axis during propagation through non-Kolmogorov turbulence, eventually evolving into a diagonal lobe shape at a certain distance of transmission. The anti-turbulence capability of the beam strengthens with higher beam order or twist factor values.
