Higher order bessel beams integrated in time (HOBBIT) for free space underwater sensing and communication

This work presents the generation, dynamic phase modulation and phase detection of interfering composite optical vortices. This technique demonstrates a new method for encoding information onto an optical beam for potential use in underwater communication as well as sensing applications including object detection and channel characterization.
