Abstract

By utilizing the extended Huygens–Fresnel principle, we derive the analytical formulas for the cross-spectral density matrix elements of a radially polarized multi-Gaussian Schell-model (RPMGSM) beam propagating in oceanic turbulence. Effects of beam parameters and oceanic turbulence parameters on the propagation properties of RPMGSM beams are investigated in detail by numerical simulation. Our results show that the RPMGSM beam with larger beam order M has an advantage over the radially polarized Gaussian Schell-model beam for reducing turbulence-induced degradation. Compared with temperature-induced turbulence fluctuation, the salinity-induced turbulence fluctuation makes a greater contribution to the influence on propagation properties of RPMGSM beams.
