Turbulence-induced wavefront deformations cause the irradiance of an optical signal to fluctuate resulting a in serious degradation in the bit-error-rate (BER) performance of optical wireless communication (OWC) system. ...

Average bit error rate (<BER>) of an underwater optical communication system is analyzed for higher order laser beams. For this purpose, the effects of oceanic turbulence parameters and link parameters on single mode higher ...

The 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 ...

The absolute field correlation of the spherical wave in an underwater turbulent medium is investigated at the receiver plane by using the extended Huygens-Fresnel principle. Results denote that increase in the propagation ...

In an oceanic optical communications link, the received intensity fluctuations, quantified by the scintillation index, are formulated and evaluated when a multimode laser is used. The variations of the scintillation index ...

The effect of oceanic turbulence on the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at the receiver of an oceanic wireless optical communication (OWOC) link is studied. To quantify such effect, the metric employed is the reduction in the ...

Modulation transfer function (MTF) of oceanic turbulence plays an essential role in the design and quality of underwater image sensing systems capturing optical signals. MTF gives clues about the characteristics of turbulence ...
