Propagation properties of the rotating elliptical chirped Gaussian vortex beam in the oceanic turbulence

Based on the extended Huygens-Fresnel integral, the analytical formulas for the average intensity of the rotating elliptical chirped Gaussian vortex beam (RECGVB) in the oceanic turbulence are derived in this paper. Meanwhile, the evolutions of the intensity, the effective beam widths in the x- and y-directions and the dynamic center of gravity for the RECGVB propagating through the oceanic turbulence are explored by numerical examples. Results show that the intensity pattern of the RECGVB which presents two light spots at the beginning deforms and spins within a certain propagation range. Moreover, the position of the dynamic center of gravity can be modulated by the first-order chirped parameters while the profile of the intensity pattern can be affected by the second-order chirped parameters. In addition, the effects of the oceanic turbulence parameters and the initial beam width on the normalized intensity and the effective beam width of the RECGVB are discussed in detail.
