Article Effects of Receiver Diversity on Bit Error Rate of Underwater Optical Wireless Communication Systems in Weak Oceanic Turbulence(Springer, 2025) Gokce, Muhsin Caner; Baykal, Yahya; Ata, YalcinThe receiver spatial diversity techniques are employed in underwater optical wireless communication (OWC) systems to mitigate oceanic turbulence, improving the bit error rate performance. In this paper, we consider an OWC system employing a binary phase-shift keying (BPSK) modulated Gaussian beam at the transmitter and employing receiver spatial diversity at the receiver. The techniques for receiver spatial diversity systems considered in the study are selection combining (SC), equal gain combining (EGC), and the maximum ratio combining (MRC). The bit error rate (BER) performance of the OWC system operating in weak oceanic turbulence is investigated by calculating the Gaussian beam's turbulence-induced scintillation index and the received optical intensity. It is found that the receiver spatial diversity techniques, especially EGC and MRC, are very effective for reducing the BER of an OWC system in weak oceanic turbulence. Furthermore, the BER performance of the underwater OWC system sees an improvement with an increase in the number of photodetectors or a decrease in the level of oceanic turbulence. Moreover, an improvement in the photodetector responsivity or a reduction in the system's noise factor contributes to achieving a favorable BER performance.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Scintillations of Higher-Order Optical Beams in Biological Tissues(Optica Publishing Group, 2025) Baykal, Yahya; Gokce, Muhsin Caner; Ata, Yalcin; Gercekcioglu, HamzaThe Scintillation index of a higher-order laser beam in turbulent biological tissue is formulated and evaluated. Behaviors of the scintillation indices of various higher-order beams against the tissue turbulence parameters of the strength coefficient of the refractive index fluctuations, fractal dimension, characteristic length of heterogeneity, small length-scale factor, and the source size, tissue length, and wavelength are examined. Fluctuations in the intensity are also investigated when various types of tissues, such as the intestinal epithelium (mouse), liver parenchyma (mouse), and upper dermis (human), are excited by different higher-order laser beams.

Here, the closed-form expressions of the wave structure func-tion (WSF) and phase structure function (PSF) of plane and spherical waves propagating in biological tissue are obtained to help with future research on imaging, intensity, and coherency in turbulent biological tissues. This paper presents the effect of turbulent biological tissue on optical wave propagation to give a perception of the per-formance of biomedical systems that use optical technologies. The behavior of optical waves in different types of turbulent biological tissues such as a liver parenchyma (mouse), an intestinal epithelium (mouse), a deep dermis (mouse), and an upper dermis (human) are investigated and compared. It is observed that turbulence becomes more effective with an increase in the characteristic length of heterogeneity, propagation distance, and the strength of the refractive index fluctuations. However, an increase in the fractal dimension, wavelength, and small length scale factor has a smaller turbulence effect on the propagating optical wave. We envision that our results may be used to interpret the performance of optical medical systems operating in turbulent biological tissues.(c) 2022 Optica Publishing GroupArticle Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Field Correlations of Multimode Optical Beams in Underwater Turbulence(Optica Publishing Group, 2024) Baykal, Yahya; Gokce, Muhsin C.; Ata, Yalcin; Gercekcioglu, HamzaFor multimode optical beams, field correlations at the receiver plane are found in underwater turbulence. Field correlations of single high order beams in underwater turbulence are special cases of our formulation. Variations of field correlations against the underwater turbulence parameters and the diagonal length from various receiver points are examined for different multimode and single high order beams. Stronger underwater turbulence is found to reduce the field correlations of multimode and single high order optical beams. The results will be of help in heterodyne detection analysis and fiber coupling efficiency in an underwater medium experiencing turbulence.

Then, we examine the intensity and modulus of the complex degree of coherence (DOC) characteristics of vortex beams in atmospheric turbulence. Our results indicate that as the topological charge increases, the intensity distribution of the vortex beam becomes less affected by atmospheric turbulence. However, the modulus of the complex DOC decreases.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 3Performance of a Free-Space Optical Communication System Employing Receive Diversity Techniques in Anisotropic Atmospheric Non-Kolmogorov Turbulence(Optica Publishing Group, 2022) Gokce, Muhsin Caner; Ata, Yalcin; Baykal, YahyaIn this paper, bit error rate (BER) performance of a free-space optical communication (FSOC) system operating in anisotropic non-Kolmogorov weak turbulence is investigated together with the spatial diversity techniques. The spatial diversity techniques are implemented as maximum ratio combining (MRC), equal gain combining (EGC), and selection combining (SC) and applied to the receiver. The propagating beam is the Gaussian beam wave, and the modulation scheme is binary phase-shift keying (BPSK). Results are obtained for various parameters such as the anisotropy factor, non-Kolmogorov power law exponent, photodetector responsivity, equivalent load resistor, electronic bandwidth, Gaussian beam radius, wavelength, propagation distance, and turbulence structure constant. It is found that the spatial diversity technique used at the receiver causes significant improvement in the performance of an FSOC system under the conditions of anisotropic non-Kolmogorov atmospheric turbulence. It is also observed that BER performance improves as the atmospheric turbulence becomes more anisotropic. Among the spatial diversity techniques, SC is inferior to EGC and EGC is inferior toMRC in terms of BER performance.

To obtain the MTF, the wave structure functions of plane and spherical waves are obtained in closed-form expressions. Results are presented depending on various parameters of the turbulent medium and optical beam. The positive effect of anisotropy on optical imaging is remarkable in turbulent biological tissues. Besides scattering and absorption, taking anisotropy into account as well as turbulence will lead to a more accurate description of the performance of the medical imaging systems that use optical spectrums in biological tissues.

The high-tech fiber optical devices, which are already available in the market, can be integrated with the UOWC systems. When integration is achieved, oceanic turbulence, which distorts the wavefront of the propagating laser beam, plays an important role in reducing the fiber coupling efficiency (FCE), which in turn results in reducing the light power received from the fiber optical components. In this paper, we propose the use of the adaptive optics technique in a UOWC system to mitigate the effects of oceanic turbulence and boost the FCE. For this reason, the field correlation for a Gaussian laser beam is derived by using the Huygens-Fresnel principle. This way, the light power over the coupling lens and the light power accepted by the fiber core are formulated under the effect of adaptive optics corrections, which are repre-sented by the number of Zernike modes. The results demonstrate that under the oceanic turbulence effect, the FCE of the UOWC system employing adaptive optics is always larger than that of the UOWC system employing no adaptive optics.

High order field correlations are special cases of the results that we obtained in this paper.

The performance of M-ary pulse position modulated (PPM) optical wireless communications (OWC) systems operating in the marine atmosphere, as measured by the bit error rate (BER), is studied here. In our investigation, the scintillation index and the average intensity in marine atmospheric turbulence are used. The variations of BER performance are reported against the marine atmospheric turbulence parameters for various values of the average current gain of the avalanche photodetector (APD), data bit rate of theOWClink, and M value of the M-ary PPM.
