title: Effects of non-Kolmogorov turbulence on the spiral spectrum of Hypergeometric-Gaussian laser beams.
abstract: We study the effects of non-Kolmogorov turbulence on the orbital angular momentum (OAM) of Hypergeometric-Gaussian (HyGG) beams in a paraxial atmospheric link. The received power and crosstalk power of OAM states of the HyGG beams are established. It is found that the hollowness parameter of the HyGG beams plays an important role in the received power and crosstalk power. The larger values of hollowness parameter give rise to the higher received power and lower crosstalk power. The results also show that the smaller OAM quantum number and longer wavelength of the launch beam may lead to the higher received power and lower crosstalk power.
