    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, Yalcin
    The 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.

    Multimode Laser Beam Field Correlations for Vertical Links Operating in Oceanic Turbulence
    (IEEE-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers inc, 2025) Gercekcioglu, Hamza; Baykal, Yahya; Gokce, Muhsin Caner; Caner Gokce, Muhsin
    In underwater optical vertical link medium, based on the extended Huygens-Fresnel principle, multimode laser beam field correlation is derived and evaluated analytically in the Atlantic Ocean at high latitude and high latitude- low latitudes. With the depth of seawater, the coherence length of a spherical wave operating in the underwater turbulent medium is demonstrated for the range of 0-4000 m. By utilizing the coherence length varying with parameters such as the rate of dissipation of turbulent kinetic energy per unit mass of fluid epsilon, the rate of dissipation of the mean squared temperature chi(T) and non-dimensional representing the relative strength of temperature and salinity fluctuations omega, which depend on depth, the field correlation is examined in detail for single modes and multimode. Their variations are exhibited. Our results indicate clearly that as the mode increases, field correlation gets better.

    Analysis of Optical Wireless Mimo Communication in Underwater Medium
    (Ieee-inst Electrical Electronics Engineers inc, 2024) Ata, Yalcin; Baykal, Yahya; Gokce, Muhsin Caner
    Leveraging 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.

    Adaptive Optics Compensation of M-Ary Pulse Position Modulated Communication Systems in Anisotropic Non-Kolmogorov Turbulent Atmosphere
    (Elsevier, 2021) Ata, Yalcin; Baykal, Yahya; Gokce, Muhsin Caner
    Adaptive optics compensation effect on the performance of an optical wireless communication system (OWC) employing M-ary pulse position modulation (PPM) scheme in anisotropic non-Kolmogorov turbulent atmosphere is investigated. Avalanche photodetector (APD) is used at the receiver side and log-normal channel that models the weak turbulence conditions is utilized. Anisotropy, generally resulting in better performance in OWC systems operating in the turbulent medium, combined with the adaptive optics applications will enhance the bit-error-rate (BER) of the OWC systems significantly. Results are obtained depending on various parameters for both the turbulent atmosphere and the receiver. Our work gives OWC system designers a perspective to optimize their design.

    Multimode Beam Propagation Through Atmospheric Turbulence
    (Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2024) Baykal, Yahya; Ata, Yalcin; Gercekcioglu, Hamza; Gokce, Muhsin Caner
    The investigation focuses on studying the propagation characteristics of multimode lasers in the turbulent amosphere. By employing the Huygens-Fresnel integral, we develop analytical formulations for various propagation parameters. These include the average intensity distribution, kurtosis parameter, beam spread, and the average transmittance of multimode beams in turbulent atmosphere. Our findings reveal that as the propagation distance or the structure constant of the atmosphere increases, i.e., turbulence becomes stronger, the kurtosis parameter and the beam spread increase. The multimode beam exhibits a Gaussian like intensity profile when the propagation distance is significantly increased or when the structure constant becomes sufficiently large. For the case of the Gaussian beam, the kurtosis parameter is found to be 3. The multimode beam's kurtosis parameter rises as the turbulence becomes stronger and eventually approaches 3. Raising the mode content leads to a rise in the average transmittance; however, it leads to a decline in the Kurtosis parameter and the beam spread.

    Performance Evaluation of Aeronautical Uplink/Downlink Free-Space Optical Communication System With Adaptive Optics Over Gamma-Gamma Turbulence Channel
    (Iop Publishing Ltd, 2022) Baykal, Yahya; Gokce, Muhsin Caner; Ata, Yalcin
    In this study, we analyze the effect of adaptive optics corrections on the performance of an aeronautical free-space optical (FSO) system with bidirectional slant path uplink and downlink communication channels. The aeronautical FSO communication (FSOC) system operates in a gamma-gamma atmospheric turbulence channel and employs adaptive optics corrections for the distorted wave front of the Gaussian beam wave. The modulation type of the aeronautical FSOC system is chosen to be M-ary phase-shift-keying-subcarrier intensity modulation and the type of the employed photodetector is positive-intrinsic-negative. In analysis, the effect of system parameters such as zenith angle, the height of transmitter/receiver on the ground, M-ary level, filter bandwidth, link distance, and the adaptive optics correction modes on bit-error-rate are demonstrated.

    Analysis of Wander and Spreading of an Optical Beam by Using the Oceanic Turbulence Optical Power Spectrum
    (Optica Publishing Group, 2022) Baykal, Yahya; Gokce, Muhsin Caner; Ata, YalcIn
    Variance of beam displacement and short-term and long-term spreading of a Gaussian beam propagating in the presence of underwater turbulence are examined by using the oceanic turbulence optical power spectrum (OTOPS). Analytical expressions for both beam wander displacement variance and beam spreading are presented. Results show that the underwater turbulent channel causes deflection from the on-axis mean irradiance and brings significant wander and spreading effects to the propagating Gaussian beam wave. The variations of beam wander and short- and long-term spreading are obtained depending on the underwater medium parameters such as the average temperature, average salinity concentration, temperature-salinity gradient ratio, and temperature and energy dissipation rates. In particular, the real values of the average temperature and salinity concentration of turbulent water are used to obtain the results. In addition, the effects of propagation distance, Gaussian beam source size, and wavelength are shown. The results demonstrate that the underwater turbulent channel brings displacements in the centroid and spreading of the optical beam. (C) 2022 Optica Publishing Group

    Fiber Coupling Efficiency in Ocean With Adaptive Optics Corrections
    (Optica Publishing Group, 2023) Gokce, Muhsin Caner; Ata, Yalcin; Baykal, Yahya
    Underwater optical wireless communication (UOWC) is a very promising technology that enables high-speed data transfer through the use of laser beams in an oceanic turbulent medium. 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.

    Coupling Efficiency of Multimode Beam To Fiber in Atmospheric Turbulence
    (Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2023) Baykal, Yahya; Ata, Yalcin; Gokce, Muhsin Caner
    Atmospheric turbulence causes wavefront distortions in the propagated laser beam. By the beam shaping of the transmitted laser, wavefront distortions can be mitigated effectively. In this paper, we consider a shaped laser modeled by multimode beams at the transmitter and investigate the coupling of the light wave to a single-mode fiber under the atmospheric turbulence effect. We derive the light power on the coupling lens and light power accepted by the fiber core using the extended Huygens-Fresnel princi-ple. Then, the fiber coupling efficiency (FCE) is scrutinized for different system parameters such as the number of modes of the transmit laser, link distance, structure constant of atmosphere, focal length and radius of the coupling lens, wavelength, source size, and the number of speckles (NOS).(c) 2023 Elsevier Ltd.
