Change in coherence properties of ovally Gaussian Schell-model vortex beam in non-Kolmogorov turbulence along an uplink path

Analytical expressions are obtained for the cross-spectral density (CSD) matrix elements of an ovally Gaussian Schell-model vortex (OGSMV) beam propagating in non-Kolmogorov turbulence along uplink path based on the extended Huygens-Fresnel principle, and its coherence properties such as spectral degree of coherence (SDOC), phase distributions and coherence vortices are investigated in detail. Results indicate that the profile of the SDOC of OGSMV beam in turbulence gradually degrades into a Gaussian-like profile, and OGSMV beam with smaller ovality, larger topological charge number and initial coherence lengths will slow down this process. Interestingly, it is clearer to observe the coherence rings of the SDOC for OGSMV beam by reducing the initial auto-correlation lengths. Furthermore, one also finds that the number of elliptical edge dislocation for phase distribution of OGSMV beam is equal to topological charge number. They can provide two effectively ways for measuring topological charge number. Lastly, we used the phase screen simulation to verify our theoretical predictions. Theoretical outcomes are in good agreement with the simulations. Our results will be of important reference for optical communication.
