Abstract
We explore and find the fundamental systemdegrading effects when using multiple orbital-angular-momentum (OAM) beams in a THz communications link under atmospheric turbulence in simulation. Unlike optical links with relatively small divergence effects, the crosstalk performance of THz OAM links is dependent on divergence-related parameters, including OAM mode order, frequency, and beam waist. Simulation results show: (i) for the cases with the same ratio of beam diameter to the Fried parameter (D/r0), the signal power increases and the crosstalk (XT) decreases when increasing the divergence-related parameters; and (ii) for the cases with the same atmospheric structure constant Cn2, the signal power decreases and the XT increases when increasing the divergence-related parameters. Moreover, for building a link where OAM +4 is transmitted with the parameters: (i) beam waist of 0.1 m and link distance of 200 m, and (ii) beam waist of 1 m and link distance of 1 km, the XT from neighbouring mode remains less than -15 dB when carrier wave frequency is 1 THz and 0.1 THz, respectively. In addition, simulation results also show that: (i) limited aperture size of the system has high influence on the XT performance under both weak and strong turbulence; and (ii) displacement of the system has high influence on the XT performance under no and weak turbulence.
