| Summary: | High performance underwater wireless optical communication systems are the key to the construction of high quality underwater optical communication networks. However, seawater absorption and seawater turbulent diffraction should be the main factors limiting the performance of underwater optical communication systems. For this reason, we established the probability model of the orbital angular momentum (OAM) mode received by the communication system to study the influence of the absorbable turbulent seawater channel on the underwater optical communication system with an anti-diffraction and anti-attenuation random (DARR) beam as the signal carrier. In the study, the DARR beam with a large truncated Gaussian aperture was adopted as the signal carrier, seawater absorption was characterized by the complex refractive index of seawater, and seawater turbulence was described by the power spectrum of the refractive index of seawater. By analyzing the relationship between the received probability of the OAM mode of DARR beams and the dissipation rate of kinetic energy per unit of mass of fluid, the ratio of temperature and salinity, dissipation rate of the mean-squared temperature, and other parameters, we show that one can select longer wavelength, smaller OAM quantum number and smaller received diameter to increase the received probability of OAM signal modes. The disturbance of turbulent seawater to the OAM modes with different quantum numbers carried by the DARR beam is less than the corresponding OAM modes carried by the Laguerre–Gaussian beam. Our paper shows that the DARR beam can mitigate the absorption and disturbance of turbulent seawater.
