Özet

We utilize the Huygens-Fresnel principle to derive the mutual coherence function (MCF) for a vortex beam, which is the main focus of our investigation. Then, we examine the intensity and modulus of the complex degree of coherence (DOC) characteristics of vortex beams in atmospheric turbulence. Our results indicate that as the topological charge increases, the intensity distribution of the vortex beam becomes less affected by atmospheric turbulence. However, the modulus of the complex DOC decreases.
