Properties of multi-Gaussian correlated partially coherent anomalous hollow beam propagating in underwater oceanic turbulence

The model of partially coherent anomalous hollow beam (AHB) generated by multi-Gaussian Schell-model source has first been introduced, and then the evolution properties of multi-Gaussian correlated partially coherent AHB propagating in underwater oceanic turbulence have been illustrated and analyzed using the numerical examples. The results show that the multi-Gaussian correlated partially coherent AHB propagating in stronger underwater oceanic turbulence will lose the initial dark hollow center with central solid core profile and evolve into Gaussian beam faster as the propagation distance increases. The results also show that the spectral degree of coherence for multi-Gaussian correlated partially coherent AHB with larger the number of Gaussian functions M will decreases more slowly.
