Mitigating Vortex Splitting by Controlling the Wavefront Isophase Line Curvature of Vector Autofocusing Airy Vortex Beams in Free Space

The match between the orbital angular momentum (OAM) transmission and receipt is a prerequisite for vortex beams as a carrier of the wireless optical communication system in free space. However, the vortex splitting induced by atmospheric turbulence results in an offset in the average OAM measured a...
