- Abstract
Based on the extended Huygens-Fresnel principle and the unified theory of coherence and polarization of light, we investigate the propagation properties of a radially polarized beam through turbulent ocean. Analytic formulae for the spectral density, the spectral degree of polarization, and the beam characteristics of such a beam on propagation are discussed. It is shown that under the influence of oceanic turbulence, the radially polarized beam will change to a partially polarized one and the beam profile will approach to a Gaussian distribution.
