Abstract

The propagation of a Gaussian Schell-model (GSM) beam with a coherent vortex dipole (CVD) through oceanic turbulence is studied in detail. The creation and annihilation of the CVDs occur with propagation, which is similar to the case of atmospheric turbulence. However, the appearance and vanishment of a coherent vortex may occur by varying the propagation distance, oceanic turbulence parameters, or beam parameters, which is different from the case of atmospheric turbulence. The stronger the oceanic turbulence, the faster the evolution process of the CVD carried by GSM beams.
