    Angle-Of Fluctuations for General-Type Beams
    (Spie-soc Photo-optical instrumentation Engineers, 2007) Eyyuboglu, Halil T.; Baykal, Yahya
    Starting with the recently introduced phase correlation function of a general-type beam, the angle-of-arrival fluctuations are derived and evaluated in atmospheric turbulence for lowest-order Gaussian, cos-Gaussian, cosh-Gaussian, annular, and flat-topped beams. Our motivation is to examine the improvement in the performance of optical atmospheric links when such beams are employed. For these beams, the dependence of the angle-of-arrival fluctuations on the propagation length, displacement and focusing parameters, source size, inner and outer scales of turbulence, and receiver radius is investigated. It is found that in the majority of the cases examined, the angle- of- arrival fluctuations remain small and hence are not expected to adversely affect the operation of free-space atmospheric links. It is observed that amongst the beams considered, the cos-Gaussian beam offers the least amount of angle-of-arrival fluctuations, while the worst behavior is exhibited by the cosh-Gaussian beam. This situation is reversed, however, if focused beams are used. (C) 2007 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers.

    M-Ary Phase Shift Keying-Subcarrier Intensity Modulation Performance in Strong Oceanic Turbulence
    (Spie-soc Photo-optical instrumentation Engineers, 2019) Baykal, Yahya; Ata, Yalcin; Gokce, Muhsin Caner
    In strong oceanic turbulence, we investigate the bit error rate (BER) performance of underwater wireless optical communication links by employing phase shift keying subcarrier intensity modulated Gaussian laser beam at the transmitter and positive-intrinsic-negative photodetector having finite sized aperture at the receiver. Using the extended Huygens-Fresnel principle, which is conventionally used to analyze the optical beam propagation through turbulence, we evaluate the optical intensity and corresponding signal power over the receiver aperture. Gamma-gamma statistical model for the received intensity is adopted due to strong oceanic turbulence and the required aperture averaged scintillation for this model is obtained by the use of asymptotic Rytov theory. In our performance investigation, we consider the effects of various oceanic turbulences, modulation, receiver noise type, and the photodetector parameters on the BER performance.

    Flat-Topped Beam Transmittance in Anisotropic Non-Kolmogorov Turbulent Marine Atmosphere
    (Spie-soc Photo-optical instrumentation Engineers, 2017) Ata, Yalcin; Baykal, Yahya
    Turbulence affects optical propagation, and, as a result, the intensity is attenuated along the path of propagation. The attenuation becomes significant when the turbulence becomes stronger. Transmittance is a measure indicating how much power is collected at the receiver after the optical wave propagates in the turbulent medium. The on-axis transmittance is formulated when a flat-topped optical beam propagates in a marine atmosphere experiencing anisotropic non-Kolmogorov turbulence. Variations in the transmittance are evaluated versus the beam source size, beam number, link distance, power law exponent, anisotropy factor, and structure constant. It is found that larger beam source sizes and beam numbers yield higher transmittance values; however, as the link distance, power law exponent, anisotropy factor, or structure constant increase, transmittance values are lowered. Our results will help in the performance evaluations of optical wireless communication and optical imaging systems operating in a marine atmosphere.

    Bit-Error Performance of Optical Wireless System Using Higher Order Mode Laser in Anisotropic Non-Kolmogorov Turbulence
    (Spie-soc Photo-optical instrumentation Engineers, 2018) Ata, Yalcin; Baykal, Yahya
    The average bit-error-rate, (BER), of optical wireless system using higher order mode laser beam is investigated when atmospheric turbulence shows anisotropic and non-Kolmogorov characteristics. Results reveal that increase in anisotropy in both x- and y-directions positively affects the optical wireless systems performance. Increase in the beam order results in an increase in (BER) for any anisotropy level, and thus, higher order beams adversely affect the optical wireless systems performance. Larger structure constant, beam source size, and propagation distance result in larger (BER), but larger wavelength, inner scale length, and signal-tonoise ratio tend to reduce (BER). Increase in the power-law exponent of non-Kolmogorov turbulent spectrum first increases the (BER) until a certain value, and then (BER) starts to decrease when the power-law exponent is further increased. Adverse effect of higher order laser beam holds to be valid for any power-law exponent of non-Kolimogorov turbulence. (C) 2018 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE)

    Aperture Averaging in Multiple-Input Single-Output Free-Space Optical Systems
    (Spie-soc Photo-optical instrumentation Engineers, 2015) Baykal, Yahya; Kamacioglu, Canan; Uysal, Murat; Gokce, Muhsin C.; Kamacoʇlu, Canan
    Multiple-input single-output systems are employed in free-space optical links to mitigate the degrading effects of atmospheric turbulence. We formulate the power scintillation as a function of transmitter and receiver coordinates in the presence of weak atmospheric turbulence by using the extended Huygens Fresnel principle. Then the effect of the receiver aperture averaging is quantified. To get consistent results, parameters are chosen within the range of validity of the wave structure functions. Radial array beams and a Gaussian weighting aperture function are used at the transmitter and the receiver, respectively. It is observed that the power scintillation decreases when the source size, the ring radius, the receiver aperture radius, and the number of array beamlet increase. However, increasing the number of array beamlets to more than three seems to have negligible effect on the power scintillation. It is further observed that the aperture averaging effect is stronger when radial array beams are employed instead of a single Gaussian beam.

    Cross-Beam Scintillations in Underwater Medium
    (Spie-soc Photo-optical instrumentation Engineers, 2016) Baykal, Yahya
    The fluctuation in the intensity, which is quantified by the scintillation index, is evaluated for cross beams when such beams propagate in an underwater medium experiencing turbulence. The variations in the scintillation index are investigated against the changes in the size of the cross beams, the ratio of temperature to salinity contributions to the refractive index spectrum, the rate of dissipation of mean-squared temperature, and the rate of dissipation of kinetic energy per unit mass of fluid.

    Performance Analysis of Multiple-Input Multiple-Output Free-Space Optical Systems With Partially Coherent Gaussian Beams and Finite-Sized Detectors
    (Spie-soc Photo-optical instrumentation Engineers, 2016) Baykal, Yahya; Uysal, Murat; Gokce, Muhsin Caner
    Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) techniques are employed in free-space optical (FSO) links to mitigate the degrading effects of atmospheric turbulence. We consider a MIMO FSO system, which consists of a radial laser array with partially coherent Gaussian beams at the transmitter and a detector array with Gaussian apertures at the receiver. The average power and the power correlation function at the finite-sized receiver apertures are formulated by using the extended Huygens-Fresnel principle in weak atmospheric turbulence. This let us further quantify the performance metrics such as the power scintillation index, the aperture averaging factor, and the average bit error rate (BER) as functions of system parameters. The derived power scintillation equation correctly reduces to the existing coherent and partially coherent Gaussian beam scintillation indices in the limiting cases. Using the performance metrics, we analyze the effect of various practical system parameters on the performance of a MIMO FSO system. Practical system parameters include the transmitter and receiver ring radius, number of beamlets, number of finite-aperture receivers, source size, degree of source coherence, receiver aperture radius, link distance, and the structure constant of atmosphere.

    Receiver-Aperture Averaging of Annular Beams Propagating Through Turbulent Atmosphere
    (Spie-soc Photo-optical instrumentation Engineers, 2013) Kamacioglu, Canan; Baykal, Yahya; Yazgan, Erdem
    For an annular beam incidence, the power scintillation index in a weakly turbulent atmosphere is derived at the receiver plane, which has a Gaussian aperture. Employing this derivation, the receiver-aperture averaging factor is evaluated. Annular beams are found more advantageous than the Gaussian beams when compared on receiver-aperture averaging basis. The analyses indicate that the effect of the aperture averaging increases as the propagation length increases. Increase in the structure constant and the secondary beam source size is observed to strengthen the effect of the aperture averaging when the primary beam source size is fixed.

    Crossbeam Intensity Fluctuations in Turbulence
    (Spie-soc Photo-optical instrumentation Engineers, 2014) Baykal, Yahya
    Intensity fluctuations of a crossbeam are evaluated in weak atmospheric turbulence. A crossbeam is defined as two asymmetrical Gaussian beams oriented perpendicular to each other, and one of these beams is wider along the x-axis whereas the other beam is wider along the y-axis. Our results indicate that in terms of the intensity fluctuations in weak turbulence, focused crossbeams offer favorable results when compared to the corresponding focused Gaussian beam intensity fluctuations. However, for collimated crossbeams, such a comparison is in favor of the collimated Gaussian beam. (C) 2014 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE)

    Effect of Source Spatial Partial Coherence on the Angle-Of Fluctuations for Free-Space Optics Links
    (Spie-soc Photo-optical instrumentation Engineers, 2006) Baykal, Yahya; Eyyuboglu, Halil Tanyer
    The dependence of angle-of-arrival fluctuations on source coherence for free-space optics links in a turbulent atmosphere is examined. A monochromatic beam is taken, and the variation of the angle-of-arrival fluctuations for a spatially partially coherent source is investigated. Results are obtained for the currently used free-space optics links, which use infrared wavelengths of 0.85 and 1.55 mu m with link lengths of 3 and 5 km. The angle-of-arrival fluctuations are calculated and plotted against normalized source size and inner and outer scales of turbulence. It is observed that the angle-of-arrival fluctuations show behavior that is essentially independent of the degree of source partial coherence. In fact, as the source size increases, this dependence seems to almost disappear. It is further observed that mean square angle-of-arrival fluctuations become larger at greater propagation distances, at smaller inner scales of turbulence, and at larger outer scales of turbulence. However, the numerical values of the angle-of-arrival fluctuations found for all cases are not expected to degrade substantially the performance of a practical optical receiver having a field of view in the order of several milliradians. Our results presented here are compared with the existing theoretical and experimental work, and the range of applicability of our formulation is discussed.
