Topological stability of optical vortices diffracted by a random phase screen

Here, we theoretically demonstrate that if a Gaussian optical vortex is distorted by a random phase screen (diffuser) then the average intensity distribution in the focus of a spherical lens has a form of a ring with a nonzero value on the optical axis. The radius of the average-intensity ring depen...
