“…The influence of temperature and salinity fluctuations on propagation of laser beams, including the degree of polarization, mutual coherence function, spreading, and the scintillation index, have widely been investigated. Up to now, the propagation properties of various types of laser beams in an oceanic environment have been reported, such as those for radially polarized Gaussian beams [6], Gaussian Schell-model vortex beam [7], stochastic electromagnetic vortex beams [8], partially coherent flat-topped vortex hollow beam [9], partially coherent annular decentered beams [10], partially coherent Hermite-Gaussian linear array beams [11], hollow Gaussian beams [12], cosine-Gaussian-correlated Schell-model beams [13], partially coherent Lorentz-Gauss vortex beams [14], partially coherent four-petal Gaussian vortex beams [15], random electromagnetic multi-Gaussian Schell-model vortex beam [16], flat-topped beams [17] and Airy beams with power exponential phase vortex [18]. Besides, a new beam model named vortex-cosh-Gaussian beam (vChGB) has been freshly investigated by us [19].…”
