Article Citation - WoS: 20Citation - Scopus: 22Analysis of Optical Wireless Mimo Communication in Underwater Medium(Ieee-inst Electrical Electronics Engineers inc, 2024) Ata, Yalcin; Baykal, Yahya; Gokce, Muhsin CanerLeveraging on the multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) application for enabling high data rates and ensuring reliable communication between underwater platforms connected to underwater sensor network, this article presents a comprehensive analysis of the performance of optical wireless MIMO communication systems depending on the various phenomena. The outage performance of an underwater optical wireless communication (UOWC) is obtained in analytical form using the Meijer-G function. Aysmptotic expression of outage probability is also derived for high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regime. Results show that the destructive combined effect of the underwater turbulence, pointing error, attenuation, and angle of arrival (AOA) on the outage performance can be reduced by applying the MIMO spatial diversity technique.Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 15Intelligent Reflecting Surface Aided Vehicular Optical Wireless Communication Systems Using Higher-Order Mode in Underwater Channel(Ieee-inst Electrical Electronics Engineers inc, 2024) Ata, Yalcin; Gokce, Muhsin Caner; Baykal, YahyaInstead of traditional acoustic communication, optical wireless communication (OWC) remains as a prominent solution in terms of ensuring high data rates for underwater sensor network (USN) including autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), submarines, and other underwater platforms. This study is devoted to the performance analysis of underwater optical wireless communication (UOWC) systems using higher-order mode optical beam source and performance improvement with the application of intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) by using realistic parameters. To make the study as comprehensive as possible, the effects of beam misalignment, attenuation (absorption- and scattering-induced), and underwater turbulence are included. The analytical expressions are obtained for probability density function (PDF), cumulative distribution function (CDF) and outage probability (OP) of UOWC channel. The benefit of IRS application is observed to attain at significant levels for UOWC.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Intensity and Degree of Coherence of Vortex Beams in Atmospheric Turbulence(Ieee-inst Electrical Electronics Engineers inc, 2024) Gokce, Muhsin Caner; Baykal, Yahya; Gercekcioglu, Hamza; Ata, Yalcin; Caner Gokce, MuhsinWe utilize the Huygens-Fresnel principle to derive the mutual coherence function (MCF) for a vortex beam, which is the main focus of our investigation. 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: 4Citation - Scopus: 6Scintillation of Laser Beams in Weak Atmospheric Turbulence for Aerial Vehicle in the Use of Lidar(Ieee-inst Electrical Electronics Engineers inc, 2022) Baykal, Yahya; Gercekcioglu, HamzaFormulation of on-axis scintillation of laser beams is found in weak atmospheric turbulence for aerial vehicle in the use of light detection and ranging (LIDAR) systems by employing the Rytov method. The formulation derived for collimated Gaussian, plane and spherical beams is evaluated in vertical link involving up/down link. In this medium, the behavior of these beams in terms of deterioration is examined. In this context, the on-axis scintillation index values are plotted versus normalized target size parameter, target size, source size, propagation distance and zenith angle, and the results are obtained for LIDAR systems operating for aerial vehicle in vertical atmospheric link by using ground/space transceiver. The degradation is greater in operating with ground transceiver than in operating with space transceiver. Additionally, while the on-axis scintillation index is minimized in the smaller target size in use of ground transceiver than in use of space transceiver, that is, it can also be minimized in the larger target size in use of space transceiver. The values of source size and the normalized target size parameter minimizing the obtained scintillation index, are 1.2 cm, 10, and 6 cm and 5 for ground transceiver and space transceiver, respectively.Article Citation - WoS: 9Citation - Scopus: 13Fiber-Coupling Efficiency of Laser Array Beam From Turbulent Atmosphere To Fiber Link(Ieee-inst Electrical Electronics Engineers inc, 2023) Baykal, Yahya; Ata, Yalcin; Gokce, Muhsin CanerFree-space optical communication (FSOC) systems are nowadays integrated with fiber optical components developed for fiber-optic communications. In such integrated systems, the collected portion of the incident beam on the receiver lens is coupled into a single-mode fiber. The process of coupling, however, is mostly affected by the atmospheric turbulence which distorts the coherency of the propagating beam i.e., it results in speckle over the coupling lens causing a reduction in the coupling efficiency. In this article, we aimed at investigating the fiber coupling efficiency of laser array beams propagating in a turbulent atmosphere. For this purpose, using the Huygens-Fresnel principle, mutual coherence function (MCF) for a laser array beam incidence is formulated. In this way, the average power coupled into the fiber and the average received power on the coupling lens are derived for a laser array beam incidence. It is found that the fiber coupling efficiency clearly increases with the increase in ring radius and the number of Gaussian beams in the array and rapidly decreases with increasing structure constant of atmosphere, link distance, and the number of speckles over the receiver aperture. We also demonstrate the effect of various FSOC system parameters on the coupling efficiency.Article Citation - WoS: 17Citation - Scopus: 16Transmittance of Multi Gaussian Optical Beams for Uplink Applications in Atmospheric Turbulence(Ieee-inst Electrical Electronics Engineers inc, 2015) Ata, Yalcin; Baykal, YahyaOn-axis slant path uplink transmittance (used in short as transmittance throughout the text) for multi Gaussian optical beam in Kolmogorov atmospheric turbulent medium is investigated. It is observed that for both the flat-topped and the annular beams, as the propagation distance, wind speed and the zenith angle increase, the transmittance decreases. The transmittance of flat-topped beams increases when the number of beams, source size or the wavelength increases. For the annular beam, when the outer/inner beam size ratio is kept constant, larger source sizes yield larger transmittance values. Transmittance of the thicker annular beams is found to be larger than the transmittance of the thinner annular beams.Article Citation - WoS: 22Citation - Scopus: 21Multimode Laser Beam Scintillations in Non-Kolmogorov Turbulence(Ieee-inst Electrical Electronics Engineers inc, 2015) Baykal, YahyaEmploying the Rytov solution, the scintillation index at the origin of the receiver plane is evaluated in non-Kolmogorov weak atmospheric turbulence when multimode laser incidence is used. The solution presented can be used when the multimode is composed of even modes. The novelty of this work lies in the theoretical combination of multimode laser beam excitation and non-Kolmogorov turbulence in the scintillation evaluations, which is not known both theoretically and experimentally. The study involves mathematical rigor but no experimental results. Being valid for any power law exponent of the non-Kolmogorov turbulence, the scintillations of the multimode beams are found to be smaller than the scintillation index of a single Gaussian beam. For the multimode laser beam excitation, the scintillation index is smaller at smaller power law exponent values. If the multimode content is formed by beams with larger mode numbers, the scintillations decrease for any non-Kolmogorov realization. When large sized beams are used in the multimode, the scintillations increase as compared to small sized content, and the scintillations become almost the same as the Gaussian beam scintillations. Comparing the multimode structures that have the same number of beams, the ones with higher order modes yield smaller scintillations, and for such multimode structures, very similar scintillation index behaviour versus the power law exponent can be obtained by varying the amplitudes of the modes composing the multimode. The main contribution of this paper is the formulation and evaluation of the scintillation noise in order to understand whether the use of multimode laser excitation will improve the link performance of optical wireless communication systems operating in a non-Kolmogorov atmosphere.Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 12Intensity Fluctuations of Laser Array Beams in Non-Kolmogorov Turbulence(Ieee-inst Electrical Electronics Engineers inc, 2015) Gercekcioglu, Hamza; Baykal, Yahya; Gerçekcioʇlu, HamzaOn-axis intensity fluctuations of laser array beams are evaluated when they are used in a weakly turbulent non-Kolmogorov atmosphere. Our formulation of the scintillation index is based on the Rytov method, which in the limiting case, correctly reduces to the known Gaussian beam scintillation index in weak Kolmogorov turbulence. When the radius of the ring (on which the array beamlets are placed), number of beamlets forming the laser array, source size of the beamlets, propagation distance or the wavelength is fixed, a decrease in the power law exponent of the non-Kolmogorov spectrum is found to decrease the scintillation index. Examining for any realization of the non-Kolmogorov spectrum, it is observed that an increase in the ring radius, number of beamlets, wavelength, and decrease in the source size of the beamlet, propagation distance reduces the intensity fluctuations.
