Abstract
Realization of full-link communication in the atmosphere and the water is a crucial area of research, it provides the pace of development of new communications technologies and the impact on the future integration of air, space, and sea. In this paper, we examine the distribution characteristics of the orbital angular momentum of Laguerre–Gaussian (LG) vortex beams in atmospheric and oceanic turbulence, derive analytical expressions for the spiral spectrum of LG vortex beams, and analyze the effects of the wavelengths, transmission paths, and beam intensity on the spectrum within turbulent environments. The findings show that long-wavelength LG vortex beams perform better in turbulent conditions. Blue-green LG vortex beams exhibit significantly enhanced performance in downlink atmospheric transmission compared to uplink transmission. Additionally, greater intensities of atmospheric and oceanic turbulence lead to a more pronounced extension of the spiral spectrum. Oceanic turbulence exerts a greater influence on blue-green LG vortex beams compared to atmospheric turbulence. This paper presents the theoretical foundation for accomplishing two-way blue-green LG vortex beam transmission between the ocean and the atmosphere.
