Orbital Angular Momentum States of Light Propagation through atmospheric turbulence

orbital angular momentum (OAM) modes as well as more general structured light
beams through atmospheric turbulence. Starting with angular spectrum method for
diffraction and description of structured light states, the book discusses
the technical details related to wave propagation through atmospheric
turbulence. The review of historical as well as more recent ideas in this
topical area, along with computer simulation codes, makes this book a useful
reference to researchers and optical engineers interested in developing and
testing of free-space applications of OAM states of light.
