Abstract :
Beams carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM) have been shown to possess unique properties in scattering environments. However, a limited source of quantifiable data is available on the propagation properties of these beams through turbid water in the context of underwater optical communication systems. In this work we investigate differences in attenuation between beams with and without OAM in line-of-sight geometries.
