    Flat-Topped Field Correlations in Extremely Strong Turbulence
    (Electromagnetics Acad, 2011) Baykal, Yahya Kemal; Baykal, Yahya; Elektrik-Elektronik Mühendisliği
    In extremely strong turbulent horizontal atmospheric optical links, field correlations of flat-topped Gaussian incidence are evaluated. Field correlations are represented versus the diagonal distance at the receiver plane, for variations in the number of beams forming the flat-topped structure, receiver points, source sizes, link lengths, structure constants and the wave-lengths. Our results in extremely strong turbulence are compared to their free space counterparts which only reflect the diffraction patterns at the receiver plane. The effects of the inner scale of turbulence on the field correlations in extremely strong turbulence are examined in detail and it is observed that the size of the inner scale in extremely strong turbulence can considerably influence the field correlations of flat-topped beams.

    Snr Advantage of Anisotropy in Oceanic Optical Wireless Communications Links
    (Optical Soc Amer, 2019) Baykal, Yahya
    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.

    Field Correlation of Flat-Topped Beams in Anisotropic Non-Kolmogorov Turbulent Atmosphere
    (Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2019) Baykal, Yahya; Ata, Yalcin
    Field correlation of flat-topped beams in anisotropic non-Kolmogorov turbulent atmosphere is formulated and evaluated. Larger anisotropic factor causes higher field correlations. Smaller field correlations are seen when the transverse distance at the receiver plane increases. Smaller field correlations are observed at large off-axis transverse receiver points, which are valid for any anisotropic factor and for any power-law exponent of non-Kolmogorov turbulence. When the flat-topped beam is composed of large number of Gaussian beams, the field correlation becomes smaller. In anisotropic non-Kolmogorov turbulence, longer propagation distances, larger structure constants, smaller inner scales and smaller source sizes decrease the field correlation. Larger power law exponent of non-Kolmogorov turbulence increases the field correlations at any anisotropic factor.

    Performance Analysis of Mimo Fso Systems With Radial Array Beams and Finite Sized Detectors
    (Spie-int Soc Optical Engineering, 2014) Kamacioglu, Canan; Uysal, Murat; Baykal, Yahya; Gokce, Muhsin C.; Kamacıoğlu, Canan
    Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems are employed in free space optical (FSO) links to mitigate the degrading effects of atmospheric turbulence. In this paper, we consider a MIMO FSO system with practical transmitter and receiver configurations that consists of a radial laser array with Gaussian beams and finite sized detectors. We formulate the average received intensity and the power scinitillation as a function of the receiver coordinates in the presence of weak atmospheric turbulence by using the extended Huygens-Fresnel principle. Then, integrations over the finite sized multiple detectors are performed and the effect of the receiver aperture averaging is quantified. We further derive an outage probability expression of this MIMO system in the presence of turbulence-induced fading channels. Using the derived expressions, we demonstrate the effect of several practical system parameters such as the ring radius, the number of array beamlets, the source size, the link length, structure constant and the receiver aperture radius on the system performance.

    Intensity Fluctuations of Incoherently Superposed Gaussian Beams in Atmospheric Turbulence
    (Spie-int Soc Optical Engineering, 2010) Baykal, Yahya
    Intensity fluctuations of incoherently superposed Gaussian beams are formulated in weak turbulence by employing the extended Huygens-Fresnel principle. Each individual beam superposed is taken to be fully incoherent. The scintillation index evaluated for different number of beams indicates that as the number of beams increase, scintillations decrease. Incoherent superposition of smaller sized Gaussian sources exhibits smaller fluctuations. Comparing the scintillation index arising from incoherently superposed Gaussian beams to the scintillation index of coherently superposed Gaussian beams of the same structure shows that incoherent superposition yields lower intensity fluctuations, thus can be advantageous in atmospheric optical communication links.

    M-Ary Pulse Position Modulation Performance in Strong Atmospheric Turbulence
    (Optical Soc Amer, 2018) Baykal, Yahya; Ata, Yalcin; Gokce, Muhsin Caner
    The performance of an M-ary pulse position modulated (PPM) optical wireless communication system operating in strong atmospheric turbulence is investigated. Bit error rate (BER) is employed as the measure for the performance. In our overall performance formulation, average received power as measured by a finite-sized avalanche photodiode (APD) detector is used by the help of the extended Huygens-Fresnel principle. For the aperture averaged scintillation evaluations, the asymptotic Rytov theory with the gamma-gamma intensity statistics is utilized. Gamma-gamma statistics together with the large-scale and the small-scale log-intensity variances yield the scintillation index valid both in weak and strong atmospheric turbulence regimes. BER variations versus the plane wave scintillation index are examined at different values of receiver aperture diameters, data bit rates, M values of M-ary PPM, quantum efficiency, and average APD gain.

    Effect of Eddy Diffusivity Ratio on Underwater Optical Scintillation Index
    (Optical Soc Amer, 2017) Elamassie, Mohammed; Uysal, Murat; Baykal, Yahya; Abdallah, Mohamed; Qaraqe, Khalid
    The performance of underwater optical wireless communication systems is severely affected by the turbulence that occurs due to the fluctuations in the index of refraction. Most previous studies assume a simplifying, yet inaccurate, assumption in the turbulence spectrum model that the eddy diffusivity ratio is equal to unity. It is, however, well known that the eddy diffusivities of temperature and salt are different from each other in most underwater environments. In this paper, we obtain a simplified spatial power spectrum model of turbulent fluctuations of the seawater refraction index as an explicit function of eddy diffusivity ratio. Using the derived model, we obtain the scintillation index of optical plane and spherical waves and investigate the effect of the eddy diffusivity ratio. (C) 2017 Optical Society of America

    Structure Parameter of Anisotropic Atmospheric Turbulence Expressed in Terms of Anisotropic Factors and Oceanic Turbulence Parameters
    (Optical Soc Amer, 2019) Ata, Yalcin; Gokce, Muhsin C.; Baykal, Yahya
    The structure parameter of the anisotropic atmospheric turbulence is expressed in terms of atmospheric, oceanic anisotropic factors in x and y directions, and the oceanic turbulence parameters, which are the wavelength, the link length, 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. For the purpose of expressing the structure parameter of the anisotropic atmospheric turbulence in terms of atmospheric, oceanic anisotropic factors and the oceanic turbulence parameters, the spherical wave scintillation indices that are found in weak anisotropic atmospheric turbulence and in weak oceanic turbulence are equated to each other. We aim to utilize the structure parameter expressed in this paper in the evaluations of various physical entities such as the average intensity, scintillation index, and beam spread in anisotropic oceanic turbulence by exploiting the existing solutions for the same physical entities in anisotropic atmospheric turbulence. Use of this structure parameter will help us to obtain the anisotropic oceanic turbulence results easily because such results will be found by just inserting the structure parameter expressed in this paper to the already reported corresponding results of anisotropic atmospheric turbulence.

    Scintillation Index of Optical Spherical Wave Propagating Through Biological Tissue
    (Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2017) Baykal, Yahya; Arpali, Caglar; Arpali, Serap Altay
    Effects of the tissue turbulence on the propagation of an optical spherical wave are analysed. For this purpose, scintillation index of an optical spherical wave which is propagating in a soft tissue is formulated and evaluated in weakly turbulent soft tissue. Scintillation index of the optical spherical wave is examined against the changes in the tissue parameters which are the tissue length between the optical spherical wave source and the detector, random variations in the refractive index of the tissue and the outer scale of the tissue turbulence. According to our graphical outputs, it is observed that increase in the random variations of the refractive index of the tissue results in an increase in the scintillation index at a certain realization of the turbulence spectrum. On the other hand, larger outer scales and longer tissue lengths yield larger scintillations. The variation of the scintillation index of the optical spherical wave versus the wavelength is also investigated. It is found that at small tissue lengths, wavelength has almost no effect on the scintillations; however, when the tissue length reaches a certain value, shorter wavelengths give rise to larger intensity fluctuations.

    Error Performance of Optical Wireless Communication Systems Exercising Bpsk Subcarrier Intensity Modulation in Non-Kolmogorov Turbulent Atmosphere
    (Elsevier Science Bv, 2019) Baykal, Yahya; Gokce, Muhsin Caner; Ata, Yalcin
    Subcarrier intensity modulation (SIM) scheme is preferred due to efficient bandwidth usage superiority over other modulation techniques such as on-off keying (OOK), pulse position modulation (PPM). In this paper, we investigate the bit error rate (BER) performance of optical wireless communication (OWC) system using binary phase shift keying (BPSK) SIM in non-Kolmogorov turbulent atmosphere. We pay attention to the weak turbulence conditions by using Rytov approximation and considering that the receiver is a PIN photodetector. Propagating beam type is Gaussian. It is seen that BER performance of the BPSK SIM OWC is significantly affected from non-Kolmogorov power law exponent, load resistor, responsivity of the PIN photodetector, bandwidth, beam source size, turbulence strength and noise factor.
