Editorial Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 1Intensity Fluctuations of Flat-Topped Beam in Non-Kolmogorov Weak Turbulence: Reply(Optical Soc Amer, 2012) Gercekcioglu, Hamza; Baykal, YahyaIn our recent publication, we have examined the intensity fluctuations of flat-topped beam in non-Kolmogorov weak turbulence [J. Opt. Soc. Am. A 29, 169 (2012)] in which our comparison of the scintillation indices in the Kolmogorov and in various non-Kolmogorov turbulences was based on the same structure constant, no matter what power law the non-Kolmogorov spectrum takes. In such choice of the fixed structure constant, which is also being used by many researchers in the field [Opt. Express 18, 451 (2010); Proc. SPIE 6747, 67470B (2007); Opt. Commun. 285, 880 (2012)], we have found that the variation of the scintillation index against non-Kolmogorov power law exhibits a peak at the worst power law, which happens to be smaller than the Kolmogorov power law of 11/3. Charnotskii commented [J. Opt. Soc. Am. A. 29, 1838 (2012)] on our paper. In this paper, in our to reply to Charnotskii's comment, we have re-evaluated the scintillation index of flat-topped beam in non-Kolmogorov weak turbulence by employing our recently reported equivalent structure constant [Opt. Lett. 36, 4554 (2011)] and re-compared the intensity fluctuations in Kolmogorov and in non-Kolmogorov turbulences. As the result of such re-comparison, the worst power law is observed to disappear. c 2012 Optical Society of AmericaArticle Citation - WoS: 14Citation - Scopus: 12Scintillation and Bit Error Rate in Bidirectional Laser Communications Between an Aerial Vehicle and a Satellite Using Annular Optical Beams in Strong Turbulent Atmosphere(Optical Soc Amer, 2021) Gercekcioglu, Hamza; Baykal, YahyaScintillation index is examined for annular optical beams in a strong atmospheric medium of a slant path. On-axis scintillations have small- and large-scale components and are formulated for the uplink/downlink of aerial vehicle-satellite laser communications. For this purpose, the unified Rytov method and the amplitude spatial filtering of the atmospheric spectrum are utilized. Performances given by the average bit error rate (BER) are investigated by employing the corresponding scintillation index, which is found by using intensity having gamma-gamma distribution. Strong atmospheric turbulence effects on the scintillation index and BER of the collimated annular optical beam having various thicknesses are reported for the up/down vertical links, and these are compared with the scintillations of the collimated Gaussian optical beams against propagation length, source size, and the zenith angle with the selected thickness. Utilizing the scintillations found, BER changes against average signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)are plotted for up/down vertical links. The scintillation index and BER in the downlink are found to be different than the scintillation index and BER in the uplink for strong atmospheric turbulence, mainly because the structure constant is a function of the altitude. Considering the location where the aerial vehicle and satellite are deployed as the reference points, annular beams are more advantageous than the Gaussian beams at up/down slant link lengths. The effect of the thickness of the annular beam is apparent for the uplink, where thin annular beams are more advantageous at small link lengths and thick annular beams are more advantageous at large link lengths. In the downlink, thin annular beams are more advantageous at all link lengths.

The Nikishov and Nikishov power spectrum of oceanic water and extendedHuygens Fresnel principle were used in our evaluations; the results were obtained viaMATLAB. The scintillation index andBERwere examined versus oceanic turbulence parameters, which are the rate of dissipation of mean-square temperature, the ratio of temperature and salinity contributions to the refractive index spectrum, and the dissipation rate of kinetic energy per unit fluid mass of fluid. Further, the scintillation index and BER are investigated against the source size, propagation distance, and complex displacement parameters of cos- and cosh-Gaussian beams. This study aimed to select the suitable sinusoidal beam to be employed in order to increase the performance of underwater wireless optical communication systems operating in oceanic turbulence.

The performance of M-ary pulse position modulated (PPM) optical wireless communications (OWC) systems operating in the marine atmosphere, as measured by the bit error rate (BER), is studied here. In our investigation, the scintillation index and the average intensity in marine atmospheric turbulence are used. The variations of BER performance are reported against the marine atmospheric turbulence parameters for various values of the average current gain of the avalanche photodetector (APD), data bit rate of theOWClink, and M value of the M-ary PPM.

Among the focused cosh-Gaussian (cosh-G), cos-Gaussian (cos-G), annular, and Gaussian beams, a suitable displacement parameter for a cosh-G beam is determined that will minimize the scintillation index in uplink and downlink configurations. Then, for both uplink and downlink, the variations of the scintillation index against the propagation distance, source size, and zenith angle are examined and compared among themselves to show the optimum beam that possesses the minimum scintillation index. Sinusoidal Gaussian beams that are focused at the receiver and obtained by employing the appropriate displacement parameter, which we name the optimum beams, are recommended to obtain smaller intensity fluctuations in atmospheric wireless optical communication systems operating in vertical links in weak turbulence.

Adaptive optics filter functions are used to find how the tilt, focus, astigmatism, coma, and total correction will behave under high order mode excitation. Reduction of the oceanic scintillation under various oceanic turbulence and system parameters is examined under different high order modes. Also, the effects of the source size, wavelength, and link length on the total adaptive optics correction of Hermite-Gaussian modes in an oceanic medium are investigated for different modes.

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.

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.

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.

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.
