“…With the development of the free-space optical communications, the propagation properties of laser beam in turbulent medium have attracted the attention of many researchers in past years. Until now, the influences of turbulent medium on the propagation properties of various beams have been studied, such as partially coherent beam [1], random electromagnetic multi-Gaussian Schell-model vortex beam [2], vortex beam [3], four -petal Gaussian beams [4], partially coherent four-petal Gaussian vortex beams [5], flat-topped vortex hollow beam [6], partially coherent crescent-like optical beam [7], radial phased-locked partially coherent anomalous hollow beam array [8], spectrally partially coherent Gaussian-Schell model pulsed beam [9], array beam [10][11][12], partially coherent anomalous elliptical hollow Gaussian beam [13], Airy beam [14], partially coherent electromagnetic Gaussian-Schell model pulse beams [15], flattened -vortex beam [16], partially coherent Hermite-Gaussian beam [17], J(0)-correlated partially coherent beam [18], single photon [19], Laguerre-Gaussian beam [20], general multi-Gaussian beam [21], twisted rectangular multi-Gaussian Schell-model beam [22], radially polarized multi-cosine Gaussian-Schell model beam [23], multi-Gaussian Schell-model vortex beam [24], and square multi-Gaussian Schell-model beam [25], etc. However, the propagation properties of a multi-Gaussian Schell-model vortex (MGSMV) beam propagating in slanted atmospheric turbulence has not been reported.…”
