For orbital angular momentum (OAM) recognition in atmosphere turbulence, how to design a self-adapted model is a challenging problem. To address this issue, an efficient deep learning framework that uses a derived extreme learning machine (ELM) has been put forward. Different from typical neural network methods, the provided analytical machine learning model can match the different OAM modes automatically. In the model selection phase, a multilayer ELM is adopted to quantify the laser spot characteristics. In the parameter optimization phase, a fast iterative shrinkage-thresholding algorithm makes the model present the analytic expression. After the feature extraction of the received intensity distributions, the proposed method develops a relationship between laser spot and OAM mode, thus building the steady neural network architecture for the new received vortex beam. The whole recognition process avoids the trial and error caused by user intervention, which makes the model suitable for a time-varying atmospheric environment. Numerical simulations are conducted on different experimental datasets. The results demonstrate that the proposed method has a better capacity for OAM recognition.
