Analysis of reciprocity of cos-Gaussian and cosh-Gaussian laser beams in a turbulent atmosphere
(Optical Soc Amer, 2004) Eyyuboglu, HT; Baykal, Y; 7688; 7812
In a turbulent atmosphere, starting with a cos-Gaussian excitation at the source plane, the average intensity profile at the receiver plane is formulated. This average intensity profile is evaluated against the variations of link lengths, turbulence levels, two frequently used free-space optics wavelengths, and beam displacement parameters. We show that a cos-Gaussian beam, following a natural diffraction, is eventually transformed into a cosh-Gaussian beam. Combining our earlier results with the current findings, we conclude that cos-Gaussian and cosh-Gaussian beams act in a reciprocal manner after propagation in turbulence. The rates (paces) of conversion in the two directions are not the same. Although the conversion of cos-Gaussian beams to cosh-Gaussian beams can happen over a wide range of turbulence levels (low to moderate to high), the conversion of cosh-Gaussian beams to cos-Gaussian beams is pronounced under relatively stronger turbulence conditions. Source and propagation parameters that affect this reciprocity have been analyzed. (C) 2004 Optical Society of America.
Average intensity and spreading of cosh-Gaussian laser beams in the turbulent atmosphere
(Optical Soc Amer, 2005) Eyyuboglu, HT; Baykal, Y; 7688; 7812
The average intensity and spreading of cosh-Gaussian laser beams in the turbulent atmosphere are examined. Our research is based principally on formulating the average-intensity profile at the receiver plane for cosh-Gaussian excitation. The limiting cases of our formulation for the average intensity are found to reduce correctly to the existing Gaussian beam wave result in turbulence and the cosh-Gaussian beam result in free space (in the absence of turbulence). The average intensity and the broadening of the cosh-Gaussian beam wave after it propagates in the turbulent atmosphere are numerically evaluated versus source size, beam displacement, link length, structure constant, and two wavelengths of 0.85 and 1.55 mum, which are most widely used in currently employed free-space-optical links. Results indicate that in turbulence the beam is widened beyond its free-space diffraction values. At the receiver plane, analogous to the case of free space, this diffraction eventually leads to transformation of the cosh-Gaussian beam into an oscillatory average-intensity profile with a Gaussian envelope.

Complex degree of coherence for partially coherent general beams in atmospheric turbulence
(Optical Soc Amer, 2007) Eyyuboglu, Halil T.; Baykal, Yahya; Cai, Yangjian; 7688; 7812
With the use of the general beam formulation, the modulus of the complex degree of coherence for partially coherent cosh-Gaussian, cos-Gaussian, Gaussian, annular and higher-order Gaussian optical beams is evaluated in atmospheric turbulence. For different propagation lengths in horizontal atmospheric links, the moduli of the complex degree of coherence at the source and receiver planes are examined when reference points are taken on the receiver axis and off-axis. In the on-axis case, it is observed that in propagation, the moduli of the complex degree of coherence are symmetrical and look like the intensity profile of the related coherent beam propagating in a turbulent atmosphere. For all the beams considered, the moduli of the complex degree of coherence profiles turn into Gaussian shapes beyond certain propagation lengths. In the off-axis case, the moduli of complex degree of coherence patterns become drifted at the earlier propagation lengths. Among the beams investigated, the cos-Gaussian beam is found to be almost independent of the changes in the source partial coherence parameter, and the annular beam seems to be affected the most against the variations of the source partial coherence parameter.

Effect of anisotropy on bit error rate for an asymmetrical Gaussian beam in a turbulent ocean
(Optical Soc Amer, 2018) Ata, Yalcin; Baykal, Yahya; 7812
Effect of anisotropy on the average bit error rate (BER) is investigated when an asymmetrical Gaussian beam is propagated in an anisotropic turbulent ocean. BER is found to decrease in response to an increase in anisotropy levels in the x and y directions. Higher average signal-to-noise ratio, wavelength, and microscale length yield smaller BER values. BER starts to rise with an increase in the asymmetrical beam source size in the x and y directions, source size ratio in the x and y directions, salinity and temperature contribution factor, the dissipation of the mean squared temperature, and the propagation distance. At the fixed source size ratio in the x and y directions of the asymmetrical beam source size, larger source sizes increase BER. An anisotropic turbulent ocean seems to exhibit better BER values as compared with an isotropic turbulent ocean. (c) 2018 Optical Society of America
Effect of strong atmospheric non-Kolmogorov turbulence on the M-ary PSK subcarrier intensity modulated free space optical communications system performance
(Optical Soc Amer, 2019) Ata, Yalcin; Gökçe, Muhsin Caner; Baykal, Yahya; Gokce, Muhsin C.; 7812
Atmospheric turbulence is one of the significant phenomena that degrades the free space optical (FSO) communications system performance, and thus designers need to define the requirements related to turbulence and optimize the system design to ensure optimum performance. The subcarrier intensity modulation (SIM) shows superiority in terms of bandwidth usage over the other modulation techniques. Performance of FSO communication systems exercising M-ary phase-shift-keying (PSK) SIM with the PIN photodiode receiver is evaluated in non-Kolmogorov strong atmospheric turbulence when a Gaussian beam is used as the excitation. Bit-error-rate (BER) of PSK SIM FSO communication systems is examined, and the results are presented versus the non-Kolmogorov atmospheric turbulence and positive-intrinsic-negative (PIN) photodetector parameters such as PIN photodetector responsivity, equivalent load resistor, modulation order, noise factor, bandwidth, propagation distance, and beam source size.

Equivalence of structure constants in non-Kolmogorov and Kolmogorov spectra
(Optical Soc Amer, 2011) Baykal, Yahya; Gercekcioglu, Hamza; 7812
We find the equivalence of the structure constants in non-Kolmogorov and Kolmogorov spectra in a turbulent atmosphere. As the reference point, the spherical wave scintillation index in a non-Kolmogorov medium is used. Relations of the structure constants are found to be functions of the power law of the turbulence spectrum and the Fresnel zone. It will be useful to employ the equivalence of the structure constants in making performance comparisons found with non-Kolmogorov and Kolmogorov spectra. (C) 2011 Optical Society of America
Flat topped beams and their characteristics in turbulent media
(Optical Soc Amer, 2006) Eyyuboglu, Halil Tanyer; Arpali, Caglar; Baykal, Yahya Kemal; 7688; 7812
The source and receiver plane characteristics of flat topped ( FT) beam propagating in turbulent atmosphere are investigated. To this end, source size, beam power and M(2) factor of source plane FT beam are derived. For a turbulent propagation medium, via Huygens Fresnel diffraction integral, the receiver plane intensity is found. Power captured within an area on the receiver plane is calculated. Kurtosis parameter and beam size variation along the propagation axis are formulated. Graphical outputs are provided displaying the variations of the derived source and receiver plane parameters against the order of flatness and propagation length. Analogous to free space behavior, when propagating in turbulence, the FT beam first will form a circular ring in the center. As the propagation length increases, the circumference of this ring will become narrower, giving rise to a downward peak emerging from the center of the beam, eventually turning the intensity profile into a pure Gaussian shape.

Formulation of correlations for general-type beams in atmospheric turbulence
(Optical Soc Amer, 2006) Baykal, Y; 7812
Log-amplitude and phase correlations of general-type beams are formulated in atmospheric turbulence. A general beam is described as the superposition of many sets of multimode contents, each mode being off-axis Hermite-Gaussian. Since the Rytov solution is utilized, the formulas are valid in the weakly turbulent regime. The results are presented in integral forms that should be numerically evaluated for the specific beam type of interest. Our general beam results correctly reduce to the existing solutions for the correlations of limiting-case beams such as higher-order single-mode, multimode, off-axis Hermite-Gaussian, Hermite-sinusoidal-Gaussian, higher-order-annular, flat-topped-Gaussian, and thus naturally fundamental mode, plane, and spherical waves. Scintillation index and phase fluctuations in atmospheric optical links employing such special beams will be examined in future using the results reported here. (c) 2006 Optical Society of America.
Hermite-sine-Gaussian and Hermite-sinh-Gaussian laser beams in turbulent atmosphere
(Optical Soc Amer, 2005) Eyyuboglu, HT; Baykal, Y; 7688; 7812
Hermite-sine-Gaussian and Hermite-sinh-Gaussian laser beam intensities in a turbulent atmosphere are investigated. The received intensity is formulated by applying the extended Huygens-Fresnel principle to generalized Hermite-hyperbolic-Gaussian and Hermite-sinusoidal-Gaussian beam incidences. From this result, the association to different types of Hermite-hyperbolic-Gaussian and Hermite-sinusoidal-Gaussian beams are defined. The average receiver intensity expressions for Hermite-sine-Gaussian and Hermite-sinh-Gaussian laser beams are evaluated and plotted against the variations in source parameters and propagation conditions. It is observed that the propagation of Hermite-sine-Gaussian and Hermite-sinh-Gaussian laser beams in turbulence have many similarities to their counterparts, Hermite-cosine-Gaussian and Hermite-cosh-Gaussian laser beams, that are examined earlier. It is further observed that under certain conditions the main features of the previously established reciprocity concept between cosine-Gaussian and cosh-Gaussian beams are mostly applicable to Hermite-sine-Gaussian and Hermite-sinh-Gaussian laser beams.

Log-amplitude and phase fluctuations of higher-order annular laser beams in a turbulent medium
(Optical Soc Amer, 2005) Baykal, Y; 7812
Log-amplitude and phase-correlation and structure functions of higher-order annular laser beams in a turbulent atmosphere are derived. A higher-order annular beam source is defined as the superposition of two different higher-order Hermite-Gaussian beams. A special case of such an excitation is the annular Gaussian beam in which two beams operate at fundamental modes of different Gaussian beam sizes, yielding a doughnut-shaped (annular) beam when the second beam is subtracted from the first beam. Our formulation utilizes Rytov approximation, which makes it applicable in the weak-turbulence regime, especially for log-amplitude fluctuations. Limiting cases of our formulations correctly match with known higher-order-mode solutions that in turn reduce to the Gaussian-beam-wave (TEM00-mode) results. Our results can be applied to determine the scintillation index and the phase fluctuations in free-space optics links under higher-order annular laser beam excitation. Except for the numerical evaluation of a specific example covering an annular Gaussian beam, the results in general are left in integral form and need to be numerically evaluated in detail to obtain quantitative results.

Off-axis average transmittance and beam spread of a partially coherent flat-topped beam in a turbulent underwater medium
(Optical Soc Amer, 2019) Keskin, Aysan; Baykal, Yahya; 7812
The effects of oceanic turbulence on the off-axis optical transmittance and beam spread are examined when a partially coherent flat-topped beam wave propagates in an underwater medium. To observe the oceanic turbulence effect, the power spectrum of homogeneous and isotropic oceanic water combining the effects of salinity and temperature is used. Employing the extended Huygens-Fresnel integral and Carter's definition for the general beam formulation that is applied to a partially coherent flat-topped beam, the effects of the parameters of power spectrum, the link on the off-axis average transmittance, and beam spread are analyzed. The results obtained with the help of the MATLAB program indicate that if the flatness of the optical beam increases, the average transmittance increases, and the beam spread decreases. Partial coherence is found to be inversely proportional to the average transmittance and directly proportional to beam spread. Increase in the source size is found to increase the average transmittance and to reduce the beam spread. Loss of the kinetic energy of fluid causes less turbulence. The rate of dissipation of kinetic energy per unit mass of fluid is directly proportional to the average transmittance, while it is inversely proportional to the beam spread. The rate of dissipation of the mean square temperature is inversely proportional to the average transmittance and directly proportional to the beam spread. When the temperature-induced optical turbulence is dominant, the average transmittance almost never decreases. However, the salinity-induced optical turbulence sharply reduces the average transmittance and increases the beam spread of the partially coherent flat-topped beam in underwater turbulence. When the off-axis parameter becomes larger, average transmittance decreases. (C) 2019 Optical Society of America
Performance of M-ary pulse position modulation for aeronautical uplink communications in an atmospheric turbulent medium
(Optical Soc Amer, 2019) Ata, Yalcin; Gökçe, Muhsin Caner; Baykal, Yahya; Gokce, Muhsin Caner; 7812
This paper discusses the bit-error-rate (BER) performance of an aeronautical uplink optical wireless communication system (OWCS) when a Gaussian beam is employed and the M-ary pulse position modulation technique is used in an atmospheric turbulent medium. Weak turbulence conditions and log-normal distribution are utilized. The Gaussian beam is assumed to propagate on a slant path, the transmitter being ground-based, and the airborne receiver is on-axis positioned. Variations of BER are obtained against the variations in the link length, Gaussian beam source size, zenith angle, wind speed, wavelength, modulation order, data bit rate, equivalent load resistor, avalanche photodetector gain, and detector quantum efficiency. It is observed that the performance of the aeronautical uplink OWCS is affected from atmospheric turbulence significantly. (C) 2019 Optical Society of America
Scintillation characteristics of cosh-Gaussian beams
(Optical Soc Amer, 2007) Eyyuboglu, Halil T.; Baykal, Yahya; 7688; 7812
By using the generalized beam formulation, the scintillation index is derived and evaluated for cosh-Gaussian beams in a turbulent atmosphere. Comparisons are made to cos-Gaussian and Gaussian beam scintillations. The variations of scintillations against propagation length at different values of displacement and focusing parameters are examined. The dependence of scintillations on source size at different propagation lengths is also investigated. Two-dimensional scintillation index distributions covering the entire transverse receiver planes are given. From the graphic illustrations, it is found that in comparison to pure Gaussian beams cosh-Gaussian beams have lower on-axis scintillations at smaller source sizes and longer propagation distances. The focusing effect appears to impose more reduction on the cosh-Gaussian beam scintillations than those of the Gaussian beam. The distribution of the off-axis scintillation index values of the Gaussian beams appears to be uniform over the transverse receiver plane, whereas that of the cosh-Gaussian beam is arranged according to the position of the slanted axis.
Scintillation index of elliptical Gaussian beam in turbulent atmosphere
(Optical Soc Amer, 2007) Cai, Yangjian; Chen, Yuntian; Eyyuboglu, Halil T.; Baykal, Yahya; 7688; 7812
A tensor method is used to formulate the on-axis scintillation index for an elliptical Gaussian beam (EGB; astigmatic Gaussian beam) propagating in a weak turbulent atmosphere. Variations of the on-axis scintillation of an EGB are studied. It is interesting to find that the scintillation index of an EGB can be smaller than that of a circular Gaussian beam in a weakly turbulent atmosphere under certain conditions and is closely related to the ratio of the beam waist size along the long axis to that along the short axis of the EGB, the wavelength, and the structure constant of the turbulent atmosphere.

Scintillation index of flat-topped Gaussian beams
(Optical Soc Amer, 2006) Baykal, Yahya; Eyyuboglu, Halil T.; 7812; 7688
The scintillation index is formulated for a flat-topped Gaussian beam source in atmospheric turbulence. The variations of the on-axis scintillations at the receiver plane are evaluated versus the link length, the size of the flat-topped Gaussian source, and the wavelength at selected flatness scales. The existing source model that represents the flat-topped Gaussian source as the superposition of Gaussian beams is employed. In the limiting case our solution correctly matches with the known Gaussian beam scintillation index. Our results show that for flat-topped Gaussian beams scintillation is larger than that of the single Gaussian beam scintillation when the source sizes are much smaller than the Fresnel zone. However, this trend is reversed and scintillations become smaller than the Gaussian beam scintillations for flat-topped sources with sizes much larger than the Fresnel zone.

Scintillation index of flat-topped Gaussian laser beam in strongly turbulent medium
(Optical Soc Amer, 2011) Gercekcioglu, Hamza; Baykal, Yahya; 7812
In a strongly turbulent medium, the scintillation index of flat-topped Gaussian beams is derived and evaluated. In the formulation, unified solution of Rytov method is utilized. Our results correctly reduce to the existing strong turbulence scintillation index of the Gaussian beam, and naturally to spherical and plane wave scintillations. Another checkpoint of our result is the scintillation index of flat-topped Gaussian beams in weak turbulence. Regardless of the order of flatness, scintillations of flat-topped Gaussian beams in strong turbulence are found to be determined mainly by the small-scale effects. For large-sized beams in moderate and strongly turbulent medium, flatter beams exhibit smaller scintillations. (C) 2011 Optical Society of America
Scintillations of cos-Gaussian and annular beams
(Optical Soc Amer, 2007) Eyyuboglu, Halil T.; Baykal, Yahya; 7688; 7812
Based on the generalized beam formulation, we derive the scintillation index and selectively evaluate it for cos-Gaussian and annular beams propagating in weak atmospheric turbulence. Dependence of the scintillation index on propagation length, focusing and displacement parameters, wavelength of operation, and source size are individually investigated. From our graphical outputs, it is observed that a cos-Gaussian beam exhibits lower scintillations and thus has a tendency to be advantageous over a pure Gaussian beam particularly at lower propagation lengths. It is also found that at longer propagation lengths, this advantage switches to the side of the annular beam. Furthermore, the scintillation index of a focused annular beam will be below those of both Gaussian and cos-Gaussian beams starting at earlier propagation distances. When analyzed against source sizes, it is seen that cos-Gaussian beams will offer advantages at relatively large source sizes, while the reverse will be applicable for annular beams.

Scintillations of incoherent flat-topped Gaussian source field in turbulence
(Optical Soc Amer, 2007) Baykal, Yahya; Eyyuboglu, Halil T.; 7812; 7688
The intensity fluctuations of incoherent flat-topped Gaussian beams are evaluated when such sources are used in weakly turbulent horizontal atmospheric links. The formulation is developed for a detector having a response time much longer than the source coherence time. The flat-topped Gaussian profile is obtained by superposing many Gaussian beams, then the incoherence is introduced through delta correlation in space. The scintillation index of the incoherent flat-topped Gaussian beams is found to be smaller than the scintillation index of the corresponding incoherent Gaussian beams at the same link length, source size, and wavelength. When compared with the coherent counterparts, the intensity fluctuations of the incoherent flat-topped Gaussian beams are much smaller, yielding the same value only at the spherical wave limit, as expected. Transmitter aperture averaging is a special case of our solution. (c) 2007 Optical Society of America.
Simulator for general-type beam propagation in turbulent atmosphere
(Optical Soc Amer, 2006) Arpali, Caglar; Yazicioglu, Canan; Eyyuboglu, Halil Tanyer; Arpali, Serap Altay; Baykal, Yahya; 7688; 7812; 51304
A simulator is designed in MATLAB code which gives the propagation characteristics of a general-type beam in turbulent atmosphere. When the required source and medium parameters are entered, the simulator yields the average intensity profile along the propagation axis in a video format. In our simulator, the user can choose the option of a "user defined beam" in which the source and medium parameters are selected as requested by the user by entering numerical values in the relevant menu boxes. Alternatively, the user can proceed with the option of "pre-defined beam" in which the average intensity profiles of beams such as annular, cos-Gaussian, sine-Gaussian, cosh-Gaussian, sinh-Gaussian, their higher-order counterparts and flat-topped can be observed as they propagate in a turbulent atmosphere. Some samples of the simulator output are presented. (c) 2006 Optical Society of America
SNR advantage of anisotropy in oceanic optical wireless communications links
(Optical Soc Amer, 2019) Baykal, Yahya; 7812
Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of an optical wireless communication (OWC) link that operates in anisotropic oceanic turbulence is evaluated. To find the SNR advantage of the anisotropy in the oceanic turbulent medium, SNR in anisotropic oceanic turbulence is normalized by the SNR in isotropic oceanic turbulence. The dB values of this normalized SNR are examined versus the oceanic turbulence parameters of the ratio of temperature to salinity contributions to the refractive index spectrum, the rate of dissipation of mean-squared temperature, the rate of dissipation of kinetic energy per unit mass of fluid at various oceanic anisotropic factors, the avalanche multiplication factors, the radii of receiver aperture, link lengths, and detector responsivity values. It is found that as the oceanic turbulence becomes more anisotropic, at any link parameter, the SNR of the OWC link becomes advantageous over the isotropic counterpart.
