Article Citation - WoS: 9Citation - Scopus: 8Effect of Partial Coherence on Signal-To Ratio Performance of Free Space Optical Communication System in Weak Turbulence(Elsevier, 2022) Aymelek, Goerkem; Yolcu, Beguem; Kayam, Orkun; Unal, Onur; Caner Gokce, Muhsin; Baykal, Yahya; Akbucak, Volkan; Gökçe, Muhsin CanerThe effect of source coherence on the average signal-to-noise ratio ((SNR)) performance of free space optical communication (FSOC) systems operating in weak atmospheric turbulence is investigated with the help of the extended Huygens-Fresnel principle. For an FSOC system that uses a partially coherent laser source, first, the received power at the finite-sized receiver aperture is derived. Then, the power scintillation index is evaluated that reflects the aperture averaging. Using these derived optical entities, the variations of (SNR) are examined versus parameters such as the degree of source coherence, wavelength, link distance, source size, structure constant of atmosphere and the receiver aperture radius. Obtained results show that a decrease in the degree of source coherence has a positive effect on (SNR).Article Citation - WoS: 34Citation - Scopus: 36Hermite Gaussian Beam Scintillations in Weak Atmospheric Turbulence for Aerial Vehicle Laser Communications(Elsevier, 2020) Sayan, Omer F.; Gercekcioglu, Hamza; Baykal, YahyaScintillation index of Hermite Gaussian beams used for air vehicle communication systems in vertical paths of weak atmospheric turbulent medium are investigated by employing the modified Rytov method. By evaluating the on-axis scintillation index, variations of the scintillation indices of these beams are examined against the changes in the Gaussian beam size of the Hermite Gaussian beam mode, propagation distances and the zenith angles at the realistic propagation distances involved in uplink and downlink configurations. In the atmospheric environment, for uplink, the Hermite Gaussian beam modes have no advantage over the Gaussian beams at short propagation distances like L = 20 km,as well as at long propagation distances like L = 700 km. However, for downlink, although Hermite Gaussian beam modes are disadvantageous over the Gaussian beams at short propagation distances like L = 20 km, they are found advantageous over the Gaussian beams at long propagation distances like L = 700 km. The results of this study may encourage to use Hermite Gaussian beams, especially in the air vehicle laser communication links, and can be used in the design of an optical wireless communication link utilizing the vertical atmospheric medium.Article Citation - WoS: 24Citation - Scopus: 26Average Channel Capacity in Anisotropic Atmospheric Non-Kolmogorov Turbulent Medium(Elsevier, 2019) Baykal, Yahya; Gokce, Muhsin Caner; Ata, YalcinThe average channel capacity of a free space optical (FSO) communication system running an intensity modulated Gaussian beam is examined in anisotropic non-Kolmogorov atmospheric weak turbulence based on Rytov variance. Results are obtained by employing the log-normal distribution of irradiance fluctuations corresponding to weak turbulence regime. Our results show that average channel capacity increases together with the increase in anisotropy factor in x and y direction, non-Kolmogorov power law exponent, quantum efficiency of photo detector, Gaussian beam source size and the inner scale length. However, the average channel capacity is found to decrease when turbulence strength, link length and noise variance increase.
