School of Science, Nanjing University of Science and Technology, Nanjing, 210094) Abstract: In this paper, the analytic expressions for the cross-spectral density matrix of random electromagnetic partially coherent flat-topped (PCFT) vortex beams through Kolmogorov atmospheric turbulence are derived, and they then are used to investigate the spectral properties of the random electromagnetic PCFT vortex beams in turbulent atmosphere based on the unified theory of coherence and polarization. It is shown by numerical results and analysis that the spectral density, the spectral degree of polarization and the spectral degree of coherence of the random electromagnetic PCFT vortex beams would change on propagation and these changes all depend on the atmospheric turbulence and the properties of the source beam, i.e. topological charges, order of flatness, waist width and spatial coherence. Furthermore, the distribution of spectral density and the spectral degree of polarization undergo several stages of evolution and finally tend to Gaussian profile at the receiver plane. Some possible explanations have also been given for the interesting physical phenomena. The results obtained may have applications in space optical communication and laser beam shaping.
