ABSTRACT We have studied the impacts of anisotropic turbulence on the orbital angular momentum (OAM) mode of a partially coherent modified Bessel correlated vortex beam propagation in an oceanic channel. In the weak turbulence paraxial channel, a new model of the probability density of OAM modes has been established. Effects of specific parameters of the oceanic turbulence on it have been studied, it is shown that there is an optimizing receiving aperture diameter in the specific interval of the ratio of temperature and salinity , which can reduce the effect of on the normalized energy weight of OAM modes and the reception of fluctuation signal. The effect of oceanic turbulence with higher anisotropy on the OAM signal is weaker than the turbulence possessing lower anisotropy. We can choose the mode carrying lower OAM quantum number to transfer information more efficiently, and we can utilize the OAM mode with large energy level difference between modes and so on to reduce mode interference and enhance the information capacity of optical communication links.
