Abstract
We propose a scheme that uses a probe Gaussian beam and the Gerchberg–Saxton (GS) algorithm to realize the pre-turbulence compensation of beams carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM). In the experiment, spatial light modulators are utilized to simulate the turbulent atmosphere and upload the retrieval holograms. A probe Gaussian beam is used to detect the turbulence. Then, the retrieval holograms, which can correct the phase distortion of the OAM beams, are obtained by the GS algorithm. The experimental results show that single or multiplexed OAM beams can be compensated well. The compensation performances under different iterations are also analyzed.
