Adaptive-optics-based simultaneous pre- and post-turbulence compensation of multiple orbital-angular-momentum beams in a bidirectional free-space optical link (2014, background): “However, for a practical OAM multiplexed free-space optical (FSO) communications link, atmospheric turbulence presents a critical challenge [10–15].”
Communication with spatially modulated light through turbulent air across Vienna (2014, methodology): “ny free-space communication system is susceptible to degradation by the Earth’s atmosphere. Numerous recent theoretical studies have analyzed the behavior of OAM light beams in a turbulent atmosphere [21, 22, 23, 24, 25]. Atmospheric turbulence has been simulated in laboratories using spatial light ”

Photon Spin Hall Effect-Based Ultra-Thin Transmissive Metasurface for Efficient Generation of OAM Waves (2019, background): “However, implementation of OAM-based wireless communication systems suffers from issues such as divergence in OAM beams [9], low gain of higher order modes [10], and turbulence effects in the atmosphere [11].”
Complete experimental toolbox for alignment-free quantum communication (2012, background): “Such robustness appears at first glance cou nterintuitive, since the encoding involves the use of orbita l angular momentum, which is quite sensitive to all the abovementioned spatial perturbations [38, 39].”
Beating the channel capacity limit for linear photonic superdense coding (2008, background): “However, OAM single-photon and entangled states easily decohere by atmospheric turbulence [29, 30], limiting their likely communication applications to satellite-to-satellite transmissions.”
