Beam blocked and truncated by the receiver causes serious power losses in beam uplink propagation in a relay mirror system. We propose a method to improve power efficiency of beam uplink propagation in the relay mirror system by using vortex source and phase optimization. A typical model of beam uplink propagation in the relay mirror system is established. With this model, the principle of the method is theoretically analyzed, and power efficiencies of beam uplink propagation under different conditions are calculated. The calculation results show that power efficiency of beam uplink propagation can be improved from 86.44% to 97.86% by using vortex source and phase optimization. A reduced-scale experiment of beam uplink propagation in the relay mirror system under the "closed-loop" mode is performed, and the experimental results show that power efficiency can be improved from 71.89% to 91.59% by using the vortex source and phase optimization.
