Abstract

Non-diffracting beams play crucial roles in the field of free-space optical communication due to their robust resistance to distortion in atmospheric turbulence. As a non-diffracting beam characterized by multiple parameters, the Tricomi beam exhibits great versatility and adjustability, attracting considerable interest recently. In this paper, we study the propagation properties of Tricomi beam in atmospheric turbulence based on the theory of random phase screen. It is found that the performance of Tricomi beam in atmospheric turbulence shows strong dependence on its asymmetric constants, topological charge, and half-cone angle. Meanwhile, the Tricomi beam manifests superior resistance to distortion and spatial mode stability in contrast to the conventional non-diffracting Bessel beam. Our work provides a valuable theoretical foundation for the design and performance optimization of next-generation free-space optical communication systems, potentially enabling enhanced data transmission fidelity over long atmospheric paths.
