Abstract
We focus on the transmission characteristics of Ince-Gaussian (IG) beams in oceanic turbulence which is simulated by the random phase screen method. The transmission characteristics of IG beams with different distances and turbulence intensities are also shown in the experiments. The impacts of the temperature and salinity in oceanic turbulence are discussed in detail. The experimental results show that the IG beam maintains the intensity distribution well after transmission. In addition, compared with the others’ structured beams, the IG beams show better robustness in oceanic turbulence with different salinity, turbulence intensity and suspended solids. Our work paves the way for leveraging IG beams in underwater optical communication.
