Effect of Partial Coherence on Miso Fso Systems
(Ieee, 2015) Baykal, Yahya; Uysal, Murat; Gokce, Muhsin Caner
Multiple-input single-output (MISO) techniques are employed in free space optical (FSO) systems to mitigate the degrading effects of atmospheric turbulence and therefore the link reliability is improved. In this paper, we consider an incoherent radial array beams and a finite sized slow detector for MISO FSO systems. We have derived the average power and power correlation formulas on the finite sized slow detector using the Huygens Fresnel principle in weak atmospheric turbulence. This helps us to find the system performance, such as power scintillation and aperture averaging factor. Effect of system parameters such as the source size, the ring radius, the degree of coherence, the link distance, the structure constant and the receiver aperture radius are analyzed on the performance of MISO FSO systems.

Performance of M-Ary Pulse Position Modulation for Aeronautical Uplink Communications in an Atmospheric Turbulent Medium
(Optical Soc Amer, 2019) Baykal, Yahya; Gokce, Muhsin Caner; Ata, Yalcin
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

Performance Analysis of M-Ary Pulse Position Modulation in Strong Oceanic Turbulence
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2018) Baykal, Yahya; Ata, Yalcin; Gokce, Muhsin Caner
In this paper, we consider an underwater wireless optical communication (UWOC) system which consists of an M-ary pulse position modulated (PPM) Gaussian optical beam at the transmitter and an avalanche photodiode (APD) at the receiver. In strong oceanic turbulence, we aimed at investigating the system performance in terms of bit error rate (BER) by the help of gamma-gamma channel model. For this purpose, the average power and the aperture averaged scintillation at the finite sized detector are derived by using the extended Huygens-Fresnel principle and the asymptotic Rytov theory, respectively. BER variations are examined versus the average APD gain, modulation order, bit rate as well as the oceanic turbulence parameters, i.e., the rate of dissipation of kinetic energy per unit mass of fluid, the rate of dissipation of mean-squared temperature and the ratio of temperature to salinity contributions to the refractive index spectrum.

Effects of Adaptive Optics on Bit Error Rate of M-Ary Ppm Oceanic Optical Wireless Communication Systems With Aperture Averaging in Strong Turbulence
(Iop Publishing Ltd, 2021) Baykal, Yahya; Ata, Yalcin; Gokce, Muhsin Caner
Scintillation is the result of oceanic turbulence reducing the bit error rate (BER) performance of oceanic optical wireless communication (OWC) systems. The scintillation, also known as intensity fluctuations, occurs due to the turbulence-induced wavefront deformations. The correction of deformations by adaptive optics (AO) reduces the scintillation effect of turbulence and results in improved BER performance. In this paper, an oceanic OWC (OOWC) system that has a Gaussian laser beam at the transmitter, finite-sized circular aperture at the receiver, employing M-ary pulse position modulation (PPM) and operating in strong oceanic turbulence, is considered. Improvement in the BER performance of the OOWC system is examined with the implementation of AO correction. Comparison of BER performances between the AO and non-adaptive optics OOWC systems is shown by calculating the metric defined. BER of M-ary PPM OOWC links is evaluated over gamma-gamma fading channels. The modified Rytov theory together with the Zernike filter functions is used to find the AO corrected aperture averaged scintillation index where extended Huygens-Fresnel technique is used to obtain the average received signal power.

Effect of Anisotropy on Performance of M-Ary Phase Shift Keying Subcarrier Intensity-Modulated Optical Wireless Communication Links Operating in Strong Oceanic Turbulence
(Iop Publishing Ltd, 2020) Baykal, Yahya; Ata, Yalcin; Gokce, Muhsin Caner
In strong oceanic turbulence, the performance of M-ary phase shift keying subcarrier intensity-modulated optical wireless communication (OWC) links is investigated in terms of the bit-error-rate (BER) by considering the effect of anisotropy of the oceanic channel. To calculate the BER of the OWC link, a gamma-gamma statistical channel model is adopted. The extended Huygens-Fresnel principle and the asymptotic Rytov theory are used to obtain the received optical power and the large-scale and small-scale log-intensity variances, respectively. Our graphical illustrations include the BER versus anisotropic factor for various system parameters such as the modulation order, filter bandwidth, link distance, peak amplitude of each subcarrier and the oceanic turbulence parameters.
Effects of Receiver Diversity on Bit Error Rate of Underwater Optical Wireless Communication Systems in Weak Oceanic Turbulence
(Springer, 2025) Gokce, Muhsin Caner; Baykal, Yahya; Ata, Yalcin
The receiver spatial diversity techniques are employed in underwater optical wireless communication (OWC) systems to mitigate oceanic turbulence, improving the bit error rate performance. In this paper, we consider an OWC system employing a binary phase-shift keying (BPSK) modulated Gaussian beam at the transmitter and employing receiver spatial diversity at the receiver. The techniques for receiver spatial diversity systems considered in the study are selection combining (SC), equal gain combining (EGC), and the maximum ratio combining (MRC). The bit error rate (BER) performance of the OWC system operating in weak oceanic turbulence is investigated by calculating the Gaussian beam's turbulence-induced scintillation index and the received optical intensity. It is found that the receiver spatial diversity techniques, especially EGC and MRC, are very effective for reducing the BER of an OWC system in weak oceanic turbulence. Furthermore, the BER performance of the underwater OWC system sees an improvement with an increase in the number of photodetectors or a decrease in the level of oceanic turbulence. Moreover, an improvement in the photodetector responsivity or a reduction in the system's noise factor contributes to achieving a favorable BER performance.

Scintillation Analysis of Multiple-Input Single-Output Underwater Optical Links
(Optical Soc Amer, 2016) Baykal, Yahya; Gokce, Muhsin Caner
Multiple-input single-output (MISO) techniques are employed in underwater wireless optical communication (UWOC) links to mitigate the degrading effects of oceanic turbulence. In this paper, we consider a MISO UWOC system which consists of a laser beam array as transmitter and a point detector as receiver. Our aim is to find the scintillation index at the detector in order to quantify the system performance. For this purpose, the average intensity and the average of the square of the intensity are derived in underwater turbulence by using the extended Huygens-Fresnel principle. The scintillation index and the average bit-error-rate (< BER >) formulas presented in this paper depend on the oceanic turbulence parameters, such as the rate of dissipation of the mean-squared temperature, rate of dissipation of kinetic energy per unit mass of fluid, Kolmogorov microscale, and the ratio of temperature to salinity contributions to the refractive index spectrum, the link length, and the wavelength. Recently, we have derived an equivalent structure constant of atmospheric turbulence and expressed it in terms of the oceanic turbulence parameters [Appl. Opt. 55, 1228 (2016)]. In the formulation in this paper, this equivalent structure constant is utilized, which enables us to employ the existing similar formulation valid in atmospheric turbulence.

Multimode Beam Propagation Through Atmospheric Turbulence
(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2024) Baykal, Yahya; Ata, Yalcin; Gercekcioglu, Hamza; Gokce, Muhsin Caner
The investigation focuses on studying the propagation characteristics of multimode lasers in the turbulent amosphere. By employing the Huygens-Fresnel integral, we develop analytical formulations for various propagation parameters. These include the average intensity distribution, kurtosis parameter, beam spread, and the average transmittance of multimode beams in turbulent atmosphere. Our findings reveal that as the propagation distance or the structure constant of the atmosphere increases, i.e., turbulence becomes stronger, the kurtosis parameter and the beam spread increase. The multimode beam exhibits a Gaussian like intensity profile when the propagation distance is significantly increased or when the structure constant becomes sufficiently large. For the case of the Gaussian beam, the kurtosis parameter is found to be 3. The multimode beam's kurtosis parameter rises as the turbulence becomes stronger and eventually approaches 3. Raising the mode content leads to a rise in the average transmittance; however, it leads to a decline in the Kurtosis parameter and the beam spread.

Multimode Laser Beam Field Correlations for Vertical Links Operating in Oceanic Turbulence
(IEEE-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers inc, 2025) Gercekcioglu, Hamza; Baykal, Yahya; Gokce, Muhsin Caner
In underwater optical vertical link medium, based on the extended Huygens-Fresnel principle, multimode laser beam field correlation is derived and evaluated analytically in the Atlantic Ocean at high latitude and high latitude- low latitudes. With the depth of seawater, the coherence length of a spherical wave operating in the underwater turbulent medium is demonstrated for the range of 0-4000 m. By utilizing the coherence length varying with parameters such as the rate of dissipation of turbulent kinetic energy per unit mass of fluid epsilon, the rate of dissipation of the mean squared temperature chi(T) and non-dimensional representing the relative strength of temperature and salinity fluctuations omega, which depend on depth, the field correlation is examined in detail for single modes and multimode. Their variations are exhibited. Our results indicate clearly that as the mode increases, field correlation gets better.

(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2021) Baykal, Yahya; Gokce, Muhsin Caner; Ata, Yalcin
This study investigates the average signal-to-noise ratio < SNR > at the shot-noise limited receiver of an optical wireless communication system (OWC) that uses collimated Gaussian beam with adaptive optics correction in non-Kolmogorov weak turbulent atmosphere. < SNR > and the variation in the percentage < SNR > are calculated and the results are presented against various adaptive optics correction modes, non-Kolmogorov power-law exponent, receiver aperture size, Gaussian beam source size, photodetector quantum efficiency, electronic bandwidth, link length, and turbulence strength. Adaptive optics correction is analyzed for tilt, defocus, astigmatism, coma and trefoil modes and their variations. The effects of adaptive optics compensation are examined that cause an increase in SNR, hence improve the performance of an OWC system using collimated Gaussian beam and operating in the non-Kolmogorov weak turbulent atmosphere.

Adaptive Optics Effect on Performance of Bpsk-Sim Oceanic Optical Wireless Communication Systems With Aperture Averaging in Weak Turbulence
(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2020) Baykal, Yahya; Ata, Yalcin; Gokce, Muhsin Caner
Turbulence-induced wavefront deformations cause the irradiance of an optical signal to fluctuate resulting a in serious degradation in the bit-error-rate (BER) performance of optical wireless communication (OWC) system. Adaptive optics is an effective technique to compensate for the wavefront aberrations to reduce the fluctuations in the received intensity. In this paper, we investigate how the adaptive optics technique affects the BER performance of an oceanic OWC (OOWC) system employing binary phase shift keying-subcarrier intensity modulation (BPSK-SIM) and aperture averaging. To evaluate BER performance in weak oceanic turbulence, the required entities such as the received optical power captured by a circular aperture and the aperture averaged scintillation index measuring the fluctuations in the received irradiance are derived. The effect of adaptive optics correction of various wavefront aberrations (i.e., tilt, defocus, astigmatism and the coma) on the BER performance is illustrated and the performance of the adaptive optics-OOWC system is compared to that of a non-adaptive optics OOWC system by the metric defined.

Effects of Liver Tissue Turbulence on Propagation of Annular Beam
(Elsevier Gmbh, 2018) Baykal, Yahya; Gokce, Muhsin Caner
Effects of tissue turbulence on the propagation properties of an annular laser beam is examined. In this respect, the average intensity profile and the beam spread at the observation plane are formulated and evaluated after the annular laser beam propagates through the turbulent liver tissue. In our formulation, the extended Huygens-Fresnel method is utilized with the involvement of the turbulence power spectrum of the liver tissue. Results obtained from the performed simulations include the variations of the received average intensity and the effective beam size of the annular beam against the changes in the liver tissue turbulence and the laser beam parameters, i.e., against the laser wavelength, tissue length, primary and secondary source sizes of the annular laser beam. Our work in this paper will prove to be helpful in obtaining clues to diagnose abnormalities such as cancer and tumor in a liver tissue.

(Elsevier, 2021) Ata, Yalcin; Baykal, Yahya; Gokce, Muhsin Caner
Adaptive optics compensation effect on the performance of an optical wireless communication system (OWC) employing M-ary pulse position modulation (PPM) scheme in anisotropic non-Kolmogorov turbulent atmosphere is investigated. Avalanche photodetector (APD) is used at the receiver side and log-normal channel that models the weak turbulence conditions is utilized. Anisotropy, generally resulting in better performance in OWC systems operating in the turbulent medium, combined with the adaptive optics applications will enhance the bit-error-rate (BER) of the OWC systems significantly. Results are obtained depending on various parameters for both the turbulent atmosphere and the receiver. Our work gives OWC system designers a perspective to optimize their design.

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.

Underwater Turbulence Effect on Optical Imaging
(Iop Publishing Ltd, 2022) Gokce, Muhsin Caner; Baykal, Yahya; Ata, Yalcin
Modulation transfer function (MTF) of oceanic turbulence plays an essential role in the design and quality of underwater image sensing systems capturing optical signals. MTF gives clues about the characteristics of turbulence which can help image reconstruction where the image resolution can be increased in this way. In the paper, under the conditions of weak turbulence and Gaussian beam propagation, we derive the modulation transfer function for short-exposure and long-exposure images based on the recently developed turbulence spectrum model: Oceanic turbulence optical power spectrum (OTOPS). With the aid of the OTOPS model, the effect of measurable turbulence parameters, namely average temperature, average salinity concentration, and temperature-salinity gradient ratios, as well as imaging system parameters, namely receiver aperture radius and wavelength of the laser source on the MTF are reported. Obtained results indicate that MTF rapidly decreases with increasing relative spatial frequency and turbulence strength. Turbulence becomes stronger with the increase in the average temperature, average salinity concentration, energy dissipation rate, temperature-salinity gradient ratio and with the decrease in the temperature dissipation rate, wavelength.

(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2023) Baykal, Yahya; Ata, Yalcin; Gokce, Muhsin Caner
Atmospheric turbulence causes wavefront distortions in the propagated laser beam. By the beam shaping of the transmitted laser, wavefront distortions can be mitigated effectively. In this paper, we consider a shaped laser modeled by multimode beams at the transmitter and investigate the coupling of the light wave to a single-mode fiber under the atmospheric turbulence effect. We derive the light power on the coupling lens and light power accepted by the fiber core using the extended Huygens-Fresnel princi-ple. Then, the fiber coupling efficiency (FCE) is scrutinized for different system parameters such as the number of modes of the transmit laser, link distance, structure constant of atmosphere, focal length and radius of the coupling lens, wavelength, source size, and the number of speckles (NOS).(c) 2023 Elsevier Ltd.

Aperture Averaging in Strong Oceanic Turbulence
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2018) Baykal, Yahya; Gokce, Muhsin Caner
Receiver aperture averaging technique is employed in underwater wireless optical communication (UWOC) systems to mitigate the effects of oceanic turbulence, thus to improve the system performance. The irradiance flux variance is a measure of the intensity fluctuations on a lens of the receiver aperture. Using the modified Rytov theory which uses the small-scale and large-scale spatial filters, and our previously presented expression that shows the atmospheric structure constant in terms of oceanic turbulence parameters, we evaluate the irradiance flux variance and the aperture averaging factor of a spherical wave in strong oceanic turbulence. Irradiance flux variance variations are examined versus the oceanic turbulence parameters and the receiver aperture diameter are examined in strong oceanic turbulence. Also, the effect of the receiver aperture diameter on the aperture averaging factor is presented in strong oceanic turbulence. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

(Ieee-inst Electrical Electronics Engineers inc, 2024) Gokce, Muhsin Caner; Baykal, Yahya; Gercekcioglu, Hamza; Ata, Yalcin
We utilize the Huygens-Fresnel principle to derive the mutual coherence function (MCF) for a vortex beam, which is the main focus of our investigation. Then, we examine the intensity and modulus of the complex degree of coherence (DOC) characteristics of vortex beams in atmospheric turbulence. Our results indicate that as the topological charge increases, the intensity distribution of the vortex beam becomes less affected by atmospheric turbulence. However, the modulus of the complex DOC decreases.
