Article Comparison of the Unmodified Rytov Method and the Modified Rytov Method in Obtaining Scintillations in Various Strongly Turbulent Media(Optica Publishing Group (Formerly OSA), 2026) Baykal, Y.The scintillation index as evaluated by the unmodified (classical) Rytov method solution for weak turbulence and evaluated by the modified or the extended Rytov method solution for strong turbulence is compared in different turbulent media, such as non-Kolmogorov atmospheric, non-Kolmogorov jet engine exhaust, marine atmospheric, and oceanic turbulences. When the scintillations are evaluated against the turbulence strength for various non-Kolmogorov power law and source sizes, the distinction between the modified Rytov and the unmodified Rytov method solutions, as the strength of turbulence increases, is clearly observed in all the turbulent media. This distinction is emphasized when the comparison is made at larger power law and source sizes. The results in this paper will be helpful in optical wireless communication system performance evaluations. © 2025 Optica Publishing Group.Article Field Correlations of a Gaussian Vortex Laser Beam in Vertical Turbulent Oceanic Links(Optica Publishing Group (Formerly OSA), 2026) Gerçekcioǧlu, H.; Baykal, Y.Utilizing the extended Huygens–Fresnel principle, field correlations of a Gaussian vortex beam propagating in the vertical turbulent oceanic link are examined analytically and evaluated by simulation in the Atlantic Ocean at low- and mid-latitude and high-latitude summer. Our formulation is based on the coherence length of a spherical wave operating at the depth range between 3000 and 3500 m. Variations in the rate of dissipation of turbulent kinetic energy per unit mass of fluid ε, the rate of dissipation of the mean-squared temperature χT, and the ratio of temperature to salinity contributions to the refractive index spectrum ω are taken into account at these depths in the underwater turbulent medium. The field correlation obtained using the coherence length found with the help of the depth-dependent power spectrum is expressed in detail. When the topological charge is selected considering the source size and propagation distance, it is seen that the normalized field correlation of the Gaussian vortex beam gives better results as compared to Gaussian beams. © 2025 Optica Publishing Group.

OWCSs are largely used in both terrestrial and non-terrestrial environments, like underwater, air, and space scenarios. Due to the large applicability of OWCS, it represents one of the main candidate technologies for the future 6G wireless communication systems. Naturally, this market trend forces the system designers to reach the best performance in their designs, as well as optimize the cost. In this survey paper, we intend to provide information to the researchers working in this field on the statistical models adopted in OWCS, the methods and techniques used to improve their performances, mainly in outdoor environment like air, space, and underwater. In this respect, the background on theoretical aspects of OWCS, together with their benefits, limitations and challenges are presented. Performance improvement techniques employed in OWCSs, such as power increase, partial coherence, beamforming, aperture averaging, spatial diversity, and intelligent reflecting surfaces, are also introduced. Finally, we discuss the open challenges that researchers are still facing, together with future directions on next steps for a large-scale adoption of OWCS. © 1998-2012 IEEE.Article Field Correlations in Jet Engine Exhaust Turbulence(Optica Publishing Group (Formerly OSA), 2026) Baykal, Y.Field correlations of collimated Gaussian beams are formulated and examined in jet engine exhaust turbulence. Variations of the field correlations are evaluated against the changes in the parameters of the wireless optical communication link and the jet engine exhaust turbulence. It is found that for all the link and turbulence parameters of interest, as the diagonal distance at the receiver plane increases, the field correlation decreases. Also, at the same diagonal distance from the receiver plane, field correlations tend to become smaller as the receiver points are at a larger distance from the receiver origin, at a smaller source size, wavelength, and inner scale values of jet engine exhaust turbulence. On the other hand, field correlations have a tendency to attain larger values at smaller link length, structure constant, amplitude coefficient for the additional high frequency spectrum area, outer scale of inhomogeneity, and the outer scale values of jet engine exhaust turbulence. © 2025 Optica Publishing Group.

We provide an analytical derivation of the average intensity at the receiver plane based on excitation from a HOAG source field. Additionally, we conduct a detailed analyses of various beam intensity moments including kurtosis parameter, power-in-the-bucket (PIB) and the beam size variation. As oceanic turbulence strength increases, the HOAG beam gradually transforms into a pure Gaussian beam. As the strength of turbulence increases, PIB values for all modes of HOAG beams gradually decrease in an exponential manner until they stabilize, exhibiting behavior similar to that of Gaussian beams. It is also observed that modes of HOAG beams having larger mode numbers carry less energy to the receiver compared to lower-order modes as turbulence strength increases. Analyses of the kurtosis parameter for HOAG beams indicate that during propagation over intermediate distances, there is a tendency for more beam energy to be distributed toward the wings rather than to the center. In contrast, at longer distances, the beam redistributes its energy, resulting in a lower energy concentration in the wings compared to the center. This research can enhance our understanding of the effects of higher-order laser beams, thereby potentially facilitating longer communication distances in underwater wireless optical communication technologies. © 2025 IOP Publishing Ltd.
