The work was conducted in a near-maritime environment, requiring the construction of a long-range optical link.</p> <h2 id="research-objectives">Research Objectives</h2> <p>The primary goal was to determine if OAM-carrying beams exhibit improved resistance to scintillation effects compared to standard Gaussian beams when propagating through turbulent atmospheric conditions.</p>
