    Off-Axis Gaussian Beams With Random Displacement in Atmospheric Turbulence
    (int inst informatics & Systemics, 2005) Baykal, Yahya Kemal; Baykal, Yahya K.; Eyyuboğlu, Halil Tanyer; Eyyuboglu, Halil T.; Yenice, Yusuf E.; Elektronik ve Haberleşme Mühendisliği; Elektrik-Elektronik Mühendisliği
    Our recent work in which we study the propagation of the general Hermite-sinusoidal-Gaussian laser beams in wireless broadband access telecommunication systems is elaborated in this paper to cover the special case of an off-axis Gaussian beam. We mainly investigate the propagation characteristics in atmospheric turbulence of an off-axis Gaussian beam possessing Gaussian distributed random displacement parameters. our interest is to search for different types of laser beams that will improve the performance of a wireless broadband access system when atmospheric turbulence is considered. Our formulation is based on the basic solution of the second order mutual coherence function evaluated at the receiver plane. For fixed turbulence strength, the coherence length calculated at the receiver plane is found to decrease as the variance of the random displacement is increased. It is shown that as the turbulence becomes stronger, coherence lengths due to off-axis Gaussian beams tend to approach the same value, irrespective of the variance of the random displacement. As expected, the beam spreading is found to be pronounced for larger variance of displacement parameter. Average intensity profiles when atmospheric turbulence is present are plotted for different values of the variance of the random displacement parameter of the off-axis Gaussian beam.

    Propagation of Cross Beams Through Atmospheric Turbulence
    (Spie-int Soc Optical Engineering, 2005) Yenice, YE; Eyyuboglu, HT; Baykal, Y; Venice, Yusuf E.
    Propagation properties of cross beam in turbulent medium are studied. A cross beam is constructed by the sum of two highly asymmetric Gaussian beams placed along transverse axes. It is known that such beams, when propagating in free space, will exhibit contrasting diffraction behaviours; they expand widely in one axis, while they are almost nondiffracting in the other axis within useful link lengths. This behaviour allows detecting the two components and a sum component if desired separately with a practical multiaperture receiver. Bearing in mind that this property can be exploited for a diversity scheme, our present work focuses on the propagation of such beams in turbulent atmosphere. To this end, starting with a source field expression of the cross beam, the second order mutual coherence function is formulated at the receiver plane. Intensity plots describing the dependence on the source and propagation parameters on the receiver plane are provided. The results tend to confirm the applicability of the concept provided the design parameters are appropriately chosen. For a decisive assessment, however, turbulence-induced beam wander must also be examined.

    Rate Averaging in Free Space Optics Systems Using Incoherent Sources
    (Spie-int Soc Optical Engineering, 2004) Baykal, Y
    Effect of the information rate on the scintillation index is examined for free space optical (FSO) broadband access applications that use spatially incoherent sources. For this purpose, intensity fluctuations are formulated indicating the effect of the rate on the scintillation index in the presence of the atmospheric turbulence. The bandwidth of modulation of the incoherent source is taken to be much smaller than the carrier frequency, i.e., narrowband approximation is employed. Rate averaging factor for spatially incoherent source is derived as to represent the averaging in weak atmospheric turbulence due to rate of modulation of the intensity. It is found that the scintillations decrease as the rate of transmission through atmospheric turbulence increases. This decrease is independent of the carrier wavelength of the FSO system but depends on the outer scale of turbulence. Up to 10 Gbps, the decrease is negligible for realistic outer scale values. When extremely large eddies are present in the formation of turbulence, rate can be effective in the reduction of the scintillations even at rates up to 10 Gbps. In the limit when the information rate is taken as zero, our results correctly reduce to the known scintillations for spatially incoherent monochromatic excitation.

    Cosine-Gaussian Laser Beam Intensity in Turbulent Atmosphere
    (Spie-int Soc Optical Engineering, 2004) Eyyuboglu, HT; Baykal, Y
    The effects of turbulent atmosphere on cosine-Gaussian laser beams are examined. To this end, a cosine-Gaussian excitation is taken at the source plane, and subsequently the average intensity profile at the receiver plane is formulated. Our formulation correctly reduces to the known Gaussian beam wave result in turbulence and the cosine-Gaussian beam solution in free space (in the absence of turbulence). Variation of the average intensity profile of the receiver plane is evaluated and plotted against the variations of link length, turbulence levels, two frequently used free space optics (FSO) wavelenaths and beam displacement parameters. From these results, it is seen that cosine-Gaussian beam, following the natural diffraction, is eventually transformed into a hyperbolic-cosine Gaussian beam. Hence, the beam energy becomes concentrated around two main lobes at the receiver plane. Combining our earlier result with the findings of this paper, we conclude that cosine-Gaussian and hyperbolic-cosine-Gaussian beam act in a reciprocal manner after having C, propagated. This rneans, starting with a cosine-Gaussian beam excitation, we obtain hyperbolic-cosine-Gaussian distribution at the receiver plane, whereas hyperbolic-cosine-Gaussian beam excitation will yield a cosine-Gaussian distribution. This reciprocity is applicable both in free space and in turbulence.

    Beam Wander Characteristics of Flat-Topped, Dark Hollow, Cos and Cosh-Gaussian, J0- and I0- Bessel Gaussian Beams Propagating in Turbulent Atmosphere: a Review
    (Spie-int Soc Optical Engineering, 2010) Eyyuboglu, Halil T.; Baykal, Yahya; Cil, Celal Z.; Korotkova, Olga; Cai, Yangjian
    In this paper we review our work done in the evaluations of the root mean square (rms) beam wander characteristics of the flat-topped, dark hollow, cos-and cosh Gaussian, J(0)-Bessel Gaussian and the I-0-Bessel Gaussian beams in atmospheric turbulence. Our formulation is based on the wave-treatment approach, where not only the beam sizes but the source beam profiles are taken into account as well. In this approach the first and the second statistical moments are obtained from the Rytov series under weak atmospheric turbulence conditions and the beam size are determined as a function of the propagation distance. It is found that after propagating in atmospheric turbulence, under certain conditions, the collimated flat-topped, dark hollow, cos-and cosh Gaussian, J(0)-Bessel Gaussian and the I-0-Bessel Gaussian beams have smaller rms beam wander compared to that of the Gaussian beam. The beam wander of these beams are analyzed against the propagation distance, source spot sizes, and against specific beam parameters related to the individual beam such as the relative amplitude factors of the constituent beams, the flatness parameters, the beam orders, the displacement parameters, the width parameters, and are compared against the corresponding Gaussian beam.

    Beams With Arbitrary Field Profiles in Turbulence - Art. No. 652209
    (Spie-int Soc Optical Engineering, 2006) Baykal, Yahya
    Characteristics of optical beam incidences that have arbitrary field profiles are examined when they propagate in the turbulent atmosphere. Arbitrary source field profile is introduced by decomposing the source into incremental areas and the received field in the presence of turbulence is expressed as the summation of the fields originating from each incremental area. Intensity moments such as average intensity and the scintillation index in turbulence are formulated under such excitation. Our results correctly reduce to the well established Gaussian beam wave solutions when the arbitrary source beam is taken as the Gaussian field profile. Naturally, all the beam structures such as the higher-order single-mode, multimode, off-axis Hermite-Gaussian, Hermite-sinusoidal-Gaussian, higher-order annular, flat-topped-Gaussian beams form the special cases of our derivation. Numerical results that cover the scintillations in turbulence for various types of arbitrary beam profiles are presented. Our results for the arbitrary source field profiles can be applied in atmospheric optics telecommunication links where combination of several known beams are employed as incidence in an effort to reduce the degrading effects of turbulence. Also in the problems of reflection from rough surfaces, propagation of spatially partially coherent optical beams or double passage imaging in turbulence, our formulation can be utilized.

    Intensity Fluctuations for Source Arrays in Turbulent Atmosphere - Art. No. 630308
    (Spie-int Soc Optical Engineering, 2006) Baykal, Yahya
    Intensity fluctuations are formulated for source arrays in weakly turbulent horizontal atmospheric links. Source array is composed of point sources separated by variable distances in the transverse source directions. Formula yielding the on-axis scintillation index for the source array is derived by employing the Rytov solution for the structure and correlation functions in the extended Huygens Fresnel principle. Through numerical results, variations of the scintillations versus the array parameters such as the size of the array, spacing between the array elements, amplitudes and phases of the individual sources in the array are investigated. Numerically evaluated intensity fluctuations for such array parameters are compared with the well known single point source scintillations. We are interested to understand whether the use of a source array will give favorable intensity fluctuations in atmospheric communication links.

    Intensity Fluctuations of Focused General-Type Beams in Atmospheric Optics Links
    (Spie-int Soc Optical Engineering, 2007) Baykal, Yahya; Eyyuboglu, Halil T.
    The intensity fluctuations of focused general-type beams in weakly turbulent atmospheric links are formulated and numerically evaluated. Focused general-type beams in general cover very large range of beams, however in this work we concentrate specifically on the focused sinusoidal-Gaussian, annular and flat-topped beams. The behavior of the scintillations for these beams is examined versus the focusing distance, wavelength of operation and the source size. In our formulation, atmospheric turbulence is introduced through the Rytov method where the free space field (i.e., in the absence of turbulence) at the receiver plane for the general-type focused beam is found by utilizing the Huygens-Fresnel principle. Figures are presented showing the scintillation index for focused general-type beams and collimated general-type beams. To find out the source and medium parameters that will yield favourable scintillation levels, the intensity fluctuations of the focused sinusoidal-Gaussian, annular and flat-topped beams are compared. Within the range of selected source and medium parameters, our observations indicate that the intensity fluctuations in weak turbulence tend to be the smallest for the focused flat-topped Gaussian beams and the largest for the focused cos-Gaussian beams. Gaussian, cosh-Gaussian and annular beams experience interim level fluctuations. The comparison of the scintillation levels for the mentioned types of focused beams follow the same tendency for all the propagation distances. Also, the intensity fluctuations of the focused general-type beams in turbulence are compared with their collimated counterparts. Such a comparison reveals that for all the beams at a selected source size, the scintillations are nearly the same for both the focused and the collimated cases at all the propagation distances, except for the flat-topped Gaussian beams. When focused flat-topped Gaussian beams are employed, the intensity fluctuations seem to be lower as compared to the equivalent collimated flat-topped Gaussian beam at shorter link lengths.

    Angle-Of Fluctuations for General-Type Beams
    (Spie-soc Photo-optical instrumentation Engineers, 2007) Eyyuboglu, Halil T.; Baykal, Yahya
    Starting with the recently introduced phase correlation function of a general-type beam, the angle-of-arrival fluctuations are derived and evaluated in atmospheric turbulence for lowest-order Gaussian, cos-Gaussian, cosh-Gaussian, annular, and flat-topped beams. Our motivation is to examine the improvement in the performance of optical atmospheric links when such beams are employed. For these beams, the dependence of the angle-of-arrival fluctuations on the propagation length, displacement and focusing parameters, source size, inner and outer scales of turbulence, and receiver radius is investigated. It is found that in the majority of the cases examined, the angle- of- arrival fluctuations remain small and hence are not expected to adversely affect the operation of free-space atmospheric links. It is observed that amongst the beams considered, the cos-Gaussian beam offers the least amount of angle-of-arrival fluctuations, while the worst behavior is exhibited by the cosh-Gaussian beam. This situation is reversed, however, if focused beams are used. (C) 2007 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers.

    Transmittance of Partially Coherent Cosh-Gaussian, Cos-Gaussian and Annular Beams in Turbulence
    (Elsevier Science Bv, 2007) Eyyuboglu, Halil T.; Baykal, Yahya
    Average relative power transmittance is evaluated, by incorporating atmospheric turbulence, for partially coherent cosh-Gaussian, cos-Gaussian, Gaussian and annular beams. For all the collimated versions of these beams, against the increasing propagation length, there is a typical trend of the decrease in the relative average power transmittance with incremental drop being much less for partially coherent cos-Gaussian beams. The change in the transmittance versus the propagation length will be similar to the corresponding collimated cases, when these beams are focused at a certain focal length. Also partially coherent beams are less sensitive to propagation length changes, except for cos-Gaussian case. Partially coherent cosh-Gaussian beams exhibit a drop in the transmittance as the displacement parameter of the beam is made larger, whereas this trend is just the opposite for partially coherent cos-Gaussian beams. When examined versus the source size, for all the four types of beams, the transmittance has a similar behavior, i.e., it becomes high at small source sizes, falling with increasing source size, and following a dip, it starts to rise, eventually approaching the plane wave limit of unity. The occurrence of the dip coincides with the smallest source size for cosh-Gaussian, with the largest for cos-Gaussian, and about the same source size for Gaussian and annular beams. In general, the average relative power transmittance of coherent beam is affected much more than the partially coherent beams against the variations in source properties. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V.
