Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 9Multimode Beam Propagation Through Atmospheric Turbulence(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2024) Baykal, Yahya; Ata, Yalcin; Gercekcioglu, Hamza; Gokce, Muhsin CanerThe 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.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 5Depth Dependence of Oceanic Turbulence Optical Power Spectrum Under Any Temperature and Salinity Concentration(Iop Publishing Ltd, 2024) Gercekcioglu, Hamza; Baykal, YahyaThe Oceanic Turbulence Optical Power Spectrum (OTOPS) with depth variations is acquired under any temperature and salinity concentration. It is supposed that specific medium is the Atlantic Ocean at high latitude and the Pacific Ocean at high, mid and low latitudes. For the OTOPS model, a depth-varying functions that include low-latitude, high- and mid-latitude-summer and mid-latitude-winter salinity and temperature changes are found. With the help of the equations for the temperature and salinity changes, figures are obtained for the eddy diffusivity ratio depth of seawater and OTOPS model against the depth and kappa at these media. In the ocean, downlink (uplink) is defined as the optical wireless communication link where the receiver (transmitter) is located at a deeper point than the transmitter (receiver), i.e., in the downlink, optical signal proceeds from a point close to ocean surface to deeper ocean and in the uplink, optical signal proceeds from deeper ocean to a point close to ocean surface. In this paper, the OTOPS model is investigated on how its properties change in the underwater environment in downlink and uplink. Different behavior of the OTOPS model is exhibited.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 6Scintillation of Laser Beams in Weak Atmospheric Turbulence for Aerial Vehicle in the Use of Lidar(Ieee-inst Electrical Electronics Engineers inc, 2022) Baykal, Yahya; Gercekcioglu, HamzaFormulation of on-axis scintillation of laser beams is found in weak atmospheric turbulence for aerial vehicle in the use of light detection and ranging (LIDAR) systems by employing the Rytov method. The formulation derived for collimated Gaussian, plane and spherical beams is evaluated in vertical link involving up/down link. In this medium, the behavior of these beams in terms of deterioration is examined. In this context, the on-axis scintillation index values are plotted versus normalized target size parameter, target size, source size, propagation distance and zenith angle, and the results are obtained for LIDAR systems operating for aerial vehicle in vertical atmospheric link by using ground/space transceiver. The degradation is greater in operating with ground transceiver than in operating with space transceiver. Additionally, while the on-axis scintillation index is minimized in the smaller target size in use of ground transceiver than in use of space transceiver, that is, it can also be minimized in the larger target size in use of space transceiver. The values of source size and the normalized target size parameter minimizing the obtained scintillation index, are 1.2 cm, 10, and 6 cm and 5 for ground transceiver and space transceiver, respectively.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 8Field Correlations of Partially Coherent Optical Beams in Underwater Turbulence(Optica Publishing Group, 2022) Baykal, Yahya; Gercekcioglu, HamzaField correlations of partially coherent optical beams at the receiver plane are formulated and evaluated in underwater turbulence. Variations of the field correlations are examined against changes in the degree of source coherence, diagonal length from the receiver point, receiver point, propagation distance, source size, ratio of temperature to salinity contributions to the refractive index spectrum, rate of dissipation of mean-squared temperature, and rate of dissipation of kinetic energy per unit mass of fluid. Under any underwater turbulence and link conditions, it is found that field correlations at the receiver plane reduce when the optical source becomes less coherent.

These scintillation indices, obtained for the Gaussian beam which is collimated, the limits of plane and spherical waves, are depicted versus the source size, target size, and parameter of the normalized reflector size. It is found that the source size, target size, and normalized reflector size parameter, lessening the scintilla-tion index evaluated on-axis, are approximately 0.44 cm, 56 x 10-4 cm, and 2.2, respectively. Additionally, by using these values that minimize the scintillation index, the variation of the scintillations is shown against the propagation distance, radius of reflector, temperature and salinity fluctuation effects, mean squared temperature, and turbulent kinetic energy dissipation rate per unit mass of fluid at various selected source size and radius of reflector values.

High order field correlations are special cases of the results that we obtained in this paper. Field correlations are presented for various numbers of mul- timodes, various multimode contents of the same number of modes, and various high order modes versus the diagonal distance from various receiver points, source size, link length, structure constant, and the wavelength. Our results will be of help especially in the design of heterodyne systems operating in turbulent atmosphere and fiber coupling efficiency in systems employing multimode excitation.(c) 2023 Optica Publishing GroupArticle 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.

On-axis scintillation index is examined versus the source size, propagation distance and zenith angle for vertical link including uplink and downlink. At the selected values of source sizes and propagation distances, scintillation responses of multimode laser beams are evaluated. In general, it is found for both uplink and downlink that the laser beam with multimode content has larger scintillation noise as compared to a Gaussian laser beam. However, for the downlink at L=700 km, at the chosen parameters, the multimode beam possessing larger mode content, is found to attain slightly smaller scintillations.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Minimization of the Scintillation Index of Sinusoidal Gaussian Beams in Weak Turbulence for Aerial Vehicle-Satellite Laser Communications(Optical Soc Amer, 2021) Gercekcioglu, Hamza; Baykal, YahyaMinimization of the on-axis scintillation index of sinusoidal Gaussian beams is investigated by using the modified Rytov method in weak atmospheric turbulence for uplink/downlink of aerial vehicle-satellite laser communications. 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.

By evaluating the on-axis scintillation index, variations of the scintillation indices of these beams are examined against the changes in the Gaussian beam size of the Hermite Gaussian beam mode, propagation distances and the zenith angles at the realistic propagation distances involved in uplink and downlink configurations. In the atmospheric environment, for uplink, the Hermite Gaussian beam modes have no advantage over the Gaussian beams at short propagation distances like L = 20 km,as well as at long propagation distances like L = 700 km. However, for downlink, although Hermite Gaussian beam modes are disadvantageous over the Gaussian beams at short propagation distances like L = 20 km, they are found advantageous over the Gaussian beams at long propagation distances like L = 700 km. The results of this study may encourage to use Hermite Gaussian beams, especially in the air vehicle laser communication links, and can be used in the design of an optical wireless communication link utilizing the vertical atmospheric medium.
