Abstract

This research investigates the performance of laser communication systems using beams carrying Orbital Angular Momentum (OAM) as they propagate through diffuse media, such as fog. Foggy environments, characterized by scattering and attenuation, often degrade the quality of optical signals, leading to significant power loss and increased transmission errors. To address these challenges, the study explores the impact of varying wavelengths and different OAM modes on the overall communication system. The findings suggest that by carefully selecting the appropriate wavelengths and OAM modes, it is possible to significantly improve the reliability of optical communication systems under adverse environmental conditions.
