Conference Object Citation - WoS: 2Flat-Topped Field Correlations in Extremely Strong Turbulence(Electromagnetics Acad, 2011) Baykal, Yahya Kemal; Baykal, Yahya; Elektrik-Elektronik MühendisliğiIn extremely strong turbulent horizontal atmospheric optical links, field correlations of flat-topped Gaussian incidence are evaluated. Field correlations are represented versus the diagonal distance at the receiver plane, for variations in the number of beams forming the flat-topped structure, receiver points, source sizes, link lengths, structure constants and the wave-lengths. Our results in extremely strong turbulence are compared to their free space counterparts which only reflect the diffraction patterns at the receiver plane. The effects of the inner scale of turbulence on the field correlations in extremely strong turbulence are examined in detail and it is observed that the size of the inner scale in extremely strong turbulence can considerably influence the field correlations of flat-topped beams.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 9Multimode Beam Propagation Through Atmospheric Turbulence(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2024) Baykal, Yahya; Ata, Yalcin; Gercekcioglu, Hamza; Gokce, Muhsin CanerThe 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.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 5Depth Dependence of Oceanic Turbulence Optical Power Spectrum Under Any Temperature and Salinity Concentration(Iop Publishing Ltd, 2024) Gercekcioglu, Hamza; Baykal, YahyaThe Oceanic Turbulence Optical Power Spectrum (OTOPS) with depth variations is acquired under any temperature and salinity concentration. It is supposed that specific medium is the Atlantic Ocean at high latitude and the Pacific Ocean at high, mid and low latitudes. For the OTOPS model, a depth-varying functions that include low-latitude, high- and mid-latitude-summer and mid-latitude-winter salinity and temperature changes are found. With the help of the equations for the temperature and salinity changes, figures are obtained for the eddy diffusivity ratio depth of seawater and OTOPS model against the depth and kappa at these media. In the ocean, downlink (uplink) is defined as the optical wireless communication link where the receiver (transmitter) is located at a deeper point than the transmitter (receiver), i.e., in the downlink, optical signal proceeds from a point close to ocean surface to deeper ocean and in the uplink, optical signal proceeds from deeper ocean to a point close to ocean surface. In this paper, the OTOPS model is investigated on how its properties change in the underwater environment in downlink and uplink. Different behavior of the OTOPS model is exhibited.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 2Correlations of Multimode Optical Incidences in a Turbulent Biological Tissue(Optica Publishing Group, 2023) Gokce, Muhsin Caner; Gerekcioglu, Hamza; Ata, Yalin; Baykal, Yahya; Gerçekcioğlu, HamzaIn a turbulent biological tissue, field correlations at the observation plane are found when a multimode optical incidence is used. For different multimode structures, variations of the multimode field correlations are evaluated against the biological tissue turbulence parameters, i.e., the strength coefficient of the refractive-index fluctuations, fractal dimension, characteristic length of heterogeneity, and the small length-scale factor. Using a chosen multimode content, for specific biological tissue types of liver parenchyma (mouse), intestinal epithelium (mouse), upper dermis (human), and deep dermis (mouse), field correlations are evaluated versus the strength coefficient of the refractive-index fluctuations and small length-scale factor. Again, with a chosen multimode content, behavior of the field correlations is studied against the strength coefficient of the refractive-index fluctuations for various diagonal lengths and the transverse coordinate at the observation plane. Finally, the field correlation versus the strength coefficient of the refractive-index fluctuations is reported for different single modes, which are special cases of multimode excitation. This topic is being reported in the literature for the first time, to our knowledge, and the presented results can be employed in many important biological tissue applications.

MTF gives clues about the characteristics of turbulence which can help image reconstruction where the image resolution can be increased in this way. In the paper, under the conditions of weak turbulence and Gaussian beam propagation, we derive the modulation transfer function for short-exposure and long-exposure images based on the recently developed turbulence spectrum model: Oceanic turbulence optical power spectrum (OTOPS). With the aid of the OTOPS model, the effect of measurable turbulence parameters, namely average temperature, average salinity concentration, and temperature-salinity gradient ratios, as well as imaging system parameters, namely receiver aperture radius and wavelength of the laser source on the MTF are reported. Obtained results indicate that MTF rapidly decreases with increasing relative spatial frequency and turbulence strength. Turbulence becomes stronger with the increase in the average temperature, average salinity concentration, energy dissipation rate, temperature-salinity gradient ratio and with the decrease in the temperature dissipation rate, wavelength.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: 81Citation - Scopus: 98Underwater Turbulence, Its Effects on Optical Wireless Communication and Imaging: a Review(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2022) Baykal, Yahya; Ata, Yalcin; Gokce, Muhsin C.Theory of optical turbulence in underwater medium and the effects of underwater turbulence on various ap-plications done in underwater or under ocean are reviewed. A detailed survey of underwater turbulence studies in literature is reported. Underwater physics covering salinity, temperature and dissipation rates, various power spectra such as Hill, Nikishov and Nikishov, Li, new form and the oceanic turbulence optical power spectrum (OTOPS) spectra are explained. Wave and phase structure functions, related coherence length, anisotropy, in-tensity, field correlations in underwater turbulence are elaborated. Scintillation indices of spherical, plane, Gaussian, and other types of optical beams are mentioned. Bit-error-rate (BER), signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) performances of optical wireless communication systems operating in underwater, and the effects of modulation types of these systems on the performances are reported. Channel capacity of underwater optical wireless communication systems when the channel experiences log-normal, gamma-gamma, Weibull, and negative exponential statistics are reflected. Underwater imaging and the related modulation transfer function, under-water turbulence mitigation techniques in the form of aperture averaging, adaptive optics, receiver, transmitter and multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) spatial diversity techniques are revised.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. (C) 2022 Optica Publishing GroupArticle Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Performance 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, YalcinIn 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.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6Mitigation of Atmospheric Turbulence on Up and Downlink Optical Communication Systems Using Receiver Diversity and Adaptive Optics(Springer, 2022) Gokce, Muhsin Caner; Baykal, Yahya; Ata, YalcinImprovement in the performance of uplink and downlink optical communication systems by means of receive diversity and adaptive optics correction is investigated. We develop a communication system model using adaptive optics correction in the transmitter and maximum ratio combining diversity technique in the receiver. The effect of adaptive optics correction modes, receive diversity, zenith angle, link length, wind speed and the height of transmitter/receiver on the ground are evaluated. Performance improvement is observed with both adaptive optics correction and the receive diversity. It is aimed to provide researchers an option to determine the method they will use to reduce the effect of turbulence. As the numerical values of the main results, we report that adaptive optics correction with 5 mode Zernike removal reduces BER from 10(-8) to 10(-10) for one receiver. When the number of receivers is 6, BER is found to reduce from 10(-6) to 10(-12). The results obtained in this study can be beneficial to optimize the design of the slant path uplink and downlink optical communication links between the ground and low-orbit satellites that are exposed to atmospheric turbulence.
