Article Signal-to-Noise Ratio Reduction in Non-Kolmogorov Jet Engine Exhaust Turbulence(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2026) Baykal, YahyaIn a medium experiencing non-Kolmogorov jet engine exhaust turbulence, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is evaluated. SNR is naturally degraded due to the presence of turbulence. The reduction in the SNR in non-Kolmogorov jet engine exhaust turbulence is calculated and presented with respect to the power law for various wireless optical communication link and turbulence parameters. The reduction in SNR is referenced to the SNR achieved in the link when there is no turbulence. SNR, being an important entity in determining the link performance, knowledge about the reduction in SNR will help the designers of wireless optical communication links, especially installed in airport environments where jet engine exhaust turbulence mostly occurs.Article Scintillation Characteristics of Annular Beam Array in Underwater Optical Links(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2025) Erdogdu, Ekin; Gokce, Muhsin Caner; Baykal, YahyaUnderwater optical wireless communication systems offer a promising alternative to traditional acoustic methods for achieving high data rate transmission. However, the propagation of optical waves in underwater environments is severely impacted by oceanic turbulence, leading to intensity fluctuations and consequent performance degradation. In this work, we employ a laser beam array to model transmit spatial diversity for suppressing these fluctuations. The model uses annular-shaped lasers at the transmitter as a representation of beam shaping for turbulence mitigation, with a point detector assumed at the receiver. Through the use of the Huygens-Fresnel principle, we derive two key optical parameters: the average received intensity and the average of the intensity squared. We subsequently determine the scintillation index for this model. Our findings demonstrate reductions in scintillation under varying system parameters. For instance, increasing the number of beams in the array, the ring radius, and the secondary field amplitude of the annular beam leads to a lower scintillation index.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 6Bit Error Rate of M-Pulse Position Modulated Laser Beams for Vertical Links Operating in Weak Oceanic Turbulence(Iop Publishing Ltd, 2024) Gercekcioglu, Hamza; Baykal, YahyaThe on-axis scintillation index of laser beams is investigated by employing the Rytov method in a weakly turbulent oceanic medium for up/downlink coupling of laser communication between any underwater vehicles or divers. For vertical links, the formulation of the on-axis scintillation index of laser beams is derived analytically and evaluated for plane, collimated Gaussian and spherical beams in specific mediums, including the Atlantic Ocean at mid and low latitudes associating temperature and salinity changes at low latitudes, at mid latitude-summer and at mid latitude-winter. Using the scintillation index, bit error rate (BER) performance of M-pulse position modulation is investigated for these types of laser beams. The variations of the scintillation index against the uplink/downlink propagation distances, source size and zenith angle are examined, and BER variations versus the Kolmogorov microscale and the symbol orders, and results are compared. It is noted that the behavior of the scintillation index that depends on the relative strength of temperature and salinity fluctuations which changes in depth, is different for uplink/downlink and for each latitude due to its distinct characteristics. The source size that minimizes the scintillation index values is in the range of about 0.1 cm-0.2 cm for all latitudes.Editorial Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Editorial: Optical Wave Propagation and Communication in Turbulent Media(Frontiers Media Sa, 2023) Baykal, YahyaArticle Citation - WoS: 112Citation - Scopus: 127Wave Structure Function and Spatial Coherence Radius of Plane and Spherical Waves Propagating Through Oceanic Turbulence(Optical Soc Amer, 2014) Lu, Lu; Ji, Xiaoling; Baykal, YahyaThe analytical formulae for the wave structure functions (WSF) and the spatial coherence radius of plane and spherical waves propagating through oceanic turbulence are derived. It is found that the Kolmogorov five-thirds power law of WSF is also valid for oceanic turbulence in the inertial range. The changes of the WSF and the spatial coherence radius versus different parameters of oceanic turbulence are examined.

Evaluations in the practical range of the source and the turbulent medium parameters show that an increase in the diagonal length at the receiver plane causes the absolute field correlations of the off-axis Gaussian beam to decrease. At a fixed receiver diagonal length, the off-axis Gaussian beams having smaller displacement parameters and larger source sizes exhibit larger absolute field correlations. Comparing the absolute field correlations of the off-axis Gaussian beams in atmospheric turbulence with their no turbulence counterparts, it is observed that the behavior of the absolute field correlation variations remains the same; however, the diminishing of the absolute field correlations in turbulence occurs at smaller diagonal lengths.Article Citation - WoS: 67Influence of Turbulence on the Effective Radius of Curvature of Radial Gaussian Array Beams(Optical Soc Amer, 2010) Ji, Xiaoling; Eyyuboglu, Halil T.; Baykal, YahyaThe analytical formula for the effective radius of curvature of radial Gaussian array beams propagating through atmospheric turbulence is derived, where coherent and incoherent beam combinations are considered. The influence of turbulence on the effective radius of curvature of radial Gaussian array beams is studied by using numerical calculation examples.

Our numerical results show that the M-2-factor of a DHB in turbulent atmosphere increases on propagation, which is much different from its invariant properties in free-space, and is mainly determined by the parameters of the beam and the atmosphere. The relative M-2-factor of a DHB increases slower than that of Gaussian and flat-topped beams on propagation, which means a DHB is less affected by the atmospheric turbulence than Gaussian and flat-topped beams. Furthermore, the relative M-2-factor of a DHB with lower coherence, longer wavelength and larger dark size is less affected by the atmospheric turbulence. Our results will be useful in long-distance free-space optical communications.

Analytical propagation formulae for the average intensity and effective beam size of an EHGB in turbulent atmosphere are derived based on the extended Huygens-Fresnel integral. The corresponding results of a standard Hermite-Gaussian beam (SHGB) in turbulent atmosphere are also derived for the convenience of comparison. The intensity and spreading properties of EHGBs and SHGBs in turbulent atmosphere are studied numerically and comparatively. It is found that the propagation properties of EHGBs and SHGBs are much different from their properties in free space, and the EHGB and SHGB with higher orders are less affected by the turbulence. What's more, the SHGB spreads more rapidly than the EHGB in turbulent atmosphere under the same conditions. Our results will be useful in long-distance free-space optical communications.

In particular, the analytic formula is derived for the cross-spectral density matrix of an electromagnetic Gaussian Schell-model (EGSM) beam. We applied our analysis for the ABCD system with a single lens located on the propagation path, representing, in a particular case, the unfolded double-pass propagation scenario of active laser radar. Through a number of numerical examples we investigated the effect of local turbulence strength and lens' parameters on spectral, coherence and polarization properties of the EGSM beam.
