Abstract
This study explores the performance of Bessel-Gaussian and Ince-Gaussian beams for free-space optical communication. We investigate the efficiency of data transmission over varied distances under mild turbulence conditions using their distinct spatial structures, such as circular symmetry in Bessel-Gaussian beams and elliptical symmetry in Ince-Gaussian beams. Using a novel numerical iterative approach, we examine how these complex structured beams encode and decode data, attempting to determine which beam type improves transmission efficiency. The results help to optimize optical wireless communication systems and have implications for advanced applications like high-resolution imaging.
