Fig. 4: Stability of recovered knots.

a The percentage of numerically (black dots) and experimentally (green diamonds) recovered trefoil knots obtained using the singularity position optimization for different scintillation values. b Same as in (a), but using the intensity optimization process2. The shaded area denotes the 95% confidence level. c Histograms showing the recovered trefoil knots, Hopf links, and unknots for various turbulence strengths using the singularity position optimization.
