Article Optical Wireless Communication in Atmosphere and Underwater: Statistical Models, Improvement Techniques, and Recent Applications(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2026) Ata, Y.; Al-Sallami, F.M.; Gökçe, M.C.; Vegni, A.M.; Rajbhandari, S.; Baykal, Y.Optical Wireless Communication Systems (OWCSs) are becoming more popular each day, especially after numerous mobile applications are being employed within the concept of Internet of Things (IoT). OWCSs are largely used in both terrestrial and non-terrestrial environments, like underwater, air, and space scenarios. Due to the large applicability of OWCS, it represents one of the main candidate technologies for the future 6G wireless communication systems. Naturally, this market trend forces the system designers to reach the best performance in their designs, as well as optimize the cost. In this survey paper, we intend to provide information to the researchers working in this field on the statistical models adopted in OWCS, the methods and techniques used to improve their performances, mainly in outdoor environment like air, space, and underwater. In this respect, the background on theoretical aspects of OWCS, together with their benefits, limitations and challenges are presented. Performance improvement techniques employed in OWCSs, such as power increase, partial coherence, beamforming, aperture averaging, spatial diversity, and intelligent reflecting surfaces, are also introduced. Finally, we discuss the open challenges that researchers are still facing, together with future directions on next steps for a large-scale adoption of OWCS. © 1998-2012 IEEE.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 1Transmittance for Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing System in Non-Kolmogorov Turbulence(2012) Ata, Y.; Baykal, Y.; Gercekcioglu, H.Transmittance for a Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) system operating in non-Kolmogorov medium is evaluated. MODTRAN (MODerate resolution atmospheric TRANsmission) is also used to include the absorption and scattering effects due to atmospheric gases, aerosols and molecules. Increase in the power law of the non-Kolmogorov spectrum is found to decrease the transmittance at all the wavelengths employed in DWDM. Being valid for all the DWDM wavelengths and for all the power law exponent values of non-Kolmogorov spectra, as the turbulence falls into stronger regimes, the transmittance levels decrease. © 2012 IEEE.
