Abstract

Vector vortex beams (VVB) combine a nontrivial phase structure and a transverse polarization pattern that can be used for optical free-space or optical fiber communication links. In this article we will show, using numerical propagation, the effects of atmospheric turbulence on the estimation of the pixel-by-pixel Stokes parameters, and how the concepts of Optimal Transport allow an optimal selection of basis symbols and a more accurate detection of the VVBs in moderate turbulence.
