Based on the Rayleigh-Sommerfeld diffraction integral theory, the propagation analytical expression of double-half Gaussian hollow beams in turbulent atmosphere is derived by using the cross spectral density function, and the effects of turbulent medium refractive index structure constant Cn2 on the propagation characteristics of double half a hollow Gaussian beams are studied and the intensity distributions under the different conditions are obtained as well. The research results show that the increased Cn2 can exacerbate the near-field diffraction effects of double-half Gaussian hollow beams, which not only shortens the propagation distance of hollow beams fully evolved into the Gaussian beams, but also increases the extent of the Gaussian beam extend outward.
