Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 4Laser Array Field Correlations in Underwater Turbulence(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2022) Gokce, Muhsin C.; Baykal, Yahya; Ata, YalcinIn underwater turbulent medium, field correlations are found when the incidence is a laser beam array. Variations of the field correlations against the variations in the ring radius of laser array beam, number of beamlets composing the laser array, source size, underwater turbulence parameters, i.e. the ratio of temperature to salinity contributions to the refractive index spectrum, rate of dissipation of mean-squared temperature and rate of dissipation of kinetic energy per unit mass of fluid, are investigated. Field correlations of laser arrays are found to be larger than the field correlations of the single beams. The effect of underwater turbulence is to reduce the field correlation of laser arrays.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6Intensity Correlation of Collimated Gaussian Beams Propagating in Biological Tissues(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2021) Baykal, YahyaIntensity correlations in turbulent biological tissues are evaluated when collimated Gaussian laser beam is used. Variations of the intensity correlations in biological tissues are investigated versus the diagonal distance from the origin of the observation plane for various tissue distances, biological tissue types, strength coefficients of the refractive-index fluctuations, starting points at the observation plane. Also, intensity correlations in biological tissues for various biological tissue types versus the strength coefficient of the refractive-index fluctuations, small length-scale factor, fractal dimension. It is found that intensity correlations become smaller at larger diagonal distance, tissue distance, strength coefficients of the refractive-index fluctuations, and at smaller source size, small length-scale factor and fractal dimensions. Behaviour of the intensity correlations is found to depend on the type of the biological tissue. Our results can be used in tissue identification and to find the disorders in biological tissues.Article High-Gain Low-Profile Rectangular Microstrip Patch Antenna With Yagi Elements(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2020) Sener, GokerThis paper presents a novel high gain rectangular microstrip patch antenna (RMSA) with vertically placed Yagi elements. The antenna is fed by a coaxial probe to excite TM01 fundamental waves at 2.4GHz, which is suitable for wireless local area network (WLAN) applications. In order to increase the antenna gain, Yagi elements are placed in groups of 5, on each side of the substrate in order to serveas directors for the radiating slots as well as the ground reflections. The proposed antenna offers 1.3dB gain improvement and %3 .1 impedance bandwidth increase in comparison to the plain rectangular microstrip antenna with the same specifications. The advantage of this antenna is to provide an easy and cost effective solution to increase microstrip antenna gain, particularly in 8-10dB range, without disruptingits planar structure.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Intensity Correlations of Flat-Topped Beams in Oceanic Turbulence(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2020) Baykal, YahyaIntensity correlations of flat-topped beams are formulated and evaluated in oceanic turbulence. Variations of the intensity correlations are examined against the diagonal distance from different starting points at the receiver plane, for the various number of beams composing the flat-topped beam, for various starting points at the receiver and for various source sizes. Also, the variations of the intensity correlations are investigated against the ratio of temperature to salinity contributions to the refractive index spectrum for the various number of beams composing the flat-topped beam, against the rate of dissipation of mean-squared temperature for various starting points at the receiver plane and against the rate of dissipation of kinetic energy per unit mass of fluid for various source sizes.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 8M-Ary Pulse Position Modulation Performance With Adaptive Optics Corrections in Atmospheric Turbulence(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2020) Gokce, Muhsin C.; Baykal, Yahya; Ata, YalcinThe performance of M-ary pulse position modulated (PPM) optical wireless communication (OWC) systems in atmospheric weak turbulence medium is evaluated by using adaptive optics corrections. Piston, tilt, defocus and coma components of adaptive optics corrections are applied to the avalanche photodetector (APD) type of receiver and the results are obtained depending on various turbulence and receiver parameters. The lognormal channel distribution is used to model the weak atmospheric turbulence conditions. Adaptive optics correction increases the bit-error-rate (BER) performance of an OWC system operating in atmospheric turbulence conditions. Piston component yields the highest BER performance, followed by the tilt, defocus and coma adaptive optics correction components respectively.Article Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 13Field Correlation of Flat-Topped Beams in Anisotropic Non-Kolmogorov Turbulent Atmosphere(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2019) Baykal, Yahya; Ata, YalcinField correlation of flat-topped beams in anisotropic non-Kolmogorov turbulent atmosphere is formulated and evaluated. Larger anisotropic factor causes higher field correlations. Smaller field correlations are seen when the transverse distance at the receiver plane increases. Smaller field correlations are observed at large off-axis transverse receiver points, which are valid for any anisotropic factor and for any power-law exponent of non-Kolmogorov turbulence. When the flat-topped beam is composed of large number of Gaussian beams, the field correlation becomes smaller. In anisotropic non-Kolmogorov turbulence, longer propagation distances, larger structure constants, smaller inner scales and smaller source sizes decrease the field correlation. Larger power law exponent of non-Kolmogorov turbulence increases the field correlations at any anisotropic factor.Article Citation - WoS: 22Citation - Scopus: 20Scintillation Index of Optical Spherical Wave Propagating Through Biological Tissue(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2017) Baykal, Yahya; Arpali, Caglar; Arpali, Serap AltayEffects of the tissue turbulence on the propagation of an optical spherical wave are analysed. For this purpose, scintillation index of an optical spherical wave which is propagating in a soft tissue is formulated and evaluated in weakly turbulent soft tissue. Scintillation index of the optical spherical wave is examined against the changes in the tissue parameters which are the tissue length between the optical spherical wave source and the detector, random variations in the refractive index of the tissue and the outer scale of the tissue turbulence. According to our graphical outputs, it is observed that increase in the random variations of the refractive index of the tissue results in an increase in the scintillation index at a certain realization of the turbulence spectrum. On the other hand, larger outer scales and longer tissue lengths yield larger scintillations. The variation of the scintillation index of the optical spherical wave versus the wavelength is also investigated. It is found that at small tissue lengths, wavelength has almost no effect on the scintillations; however, when the tissue length reaches a certain value, shorter wavelengths give rise to larger intensity fluctuations.Article Citation - WoS: 9Citation - Scopus: 10Anisotropy Effect on Performance of Subcarrier Intensity Modulated Binary Phase Shift Keying Optical Wireless Communication Links in Weakly Turbulent Underwater Channel(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2019) Gokce, Muhsin C.; Ata, Yalcin; Baykal, YahyaThe effect of the anisotropy on the bit-error-rate (BER) performance of subcarrier intensity modulated (SIM) binary phase shift keying (BPSK) optical wireless communication (OWC) links operating in weakly turbulent underwater channels is examined. BER variations versus the anisotropic factor are examined when the bandwidth, photodetector responsivity, load resistor and the underwater turbulence parameters are varied. As anisotropy in the underwater channel becomes larger, SIM BPSK OWC links have better BER performance at any link and turbulence parameter.Article Citation - WoS: 28Citation - Scopus: 30Effect of Anisotropy on Intensity Fluctuations in Oceanic Turbulence(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2018) Baykal, YahyaFor an optical spherical wave propagating in an oceanic turbulent medium, the effect of anisotropy on the received intensity fluctuations is investigated. For different anisotropy factors, the variations of the scintillation index vs. the ratio that determines the relative strength of temperature and salinity in the index fluctuations, the rate of dissipation of the mean squared temperature, the rate of dissipation of the turbulent kinetic energy, viscosity, link length and the wavelength are plotted. It is found that, for all the oceanic turbulence and the link parameters of interest, as the medium becomes more anisotropic, the intensity of the optical spherical wave fluctuates less. It is concluded that the performance of an optical wireless communication systems (OWCS) operating in anisotropic oceanic turbulence is better than the performance of OWCS operating in isotropic oceanic turbulence.Article Citation - WoS: 29Citation - Scopus: 35Ber Evaluations for Multimode Beams in Underwater Turbulence(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2016) Arpali, Serap Altay; Baykal, Yahya; Arpali, CaglarIn underwater optical communication links, bit error rate (BER) is an important performance criterion. For this purpose, the effects of oceanic turbulence on multimode laser beam incidences are studied and compared in terms of average BER (< BER >), which is related to the scintillation index. Based on the log-normal distribution, < BER > is analysed for underwater turbulence parameters, including the rate of dissipation of the mean squared temperature, the rate of dissipation of the turbulent kinetic energy, the parameter that determines the relative strength of temperature and salinity in driving index fluctuations, the Kolmogorov microscale length and other link parameters such as link length, wavelength and laser source size. It is shown that use of multimode improves the system performance of optical wireless communication systems operating in an underwater medium. For all the investigated multimode beams, decreasing link length, source size, the relative strength of temperature and salinity in driving the index fluctuations, the rate of dissipation of the mean squared temperature and Kolmogorov microscale length improve the < BER >. Moreover, lower < BER > values are obtained for the increasing wavelength of operation and the rate of dissipation of the turbulent kinetic energy in underwater turbulence.
