contents This work develops machine learning approaches to classify structured light wave beams developing random speckle disturbances as they propagate through turbulent atmospheres. Beam propagation is modeled by the numerical simulation of a stochastic paraxial equation. We design convolutional neural networks tailored for this specific application and use them for a classification model with one-hot encoding. To address the challenge of potentially limited available data, we develop a prediction-based generative diffusion model to provide additional data during classifier training. We show that a Bregman distance minimization during the learning step improves the quality of the generation of high-frequency modes.
