Average transmittance of multi-Gaussian (flat-topped and annular) optical beams in an anisotropic turbulent ocean is examined analytically based on the extended Huygens-Fresnel principle. Transmittance variations depending ...

Behavior of the coherence length in non-Kolmogorov satellite links is investigated. Equivalent structure constants for non-Kolmogorov spectra are employed in order to make relevant comparisons for different non-Kolmogorov ...

Intensity fluctuations of asymmetrical optical beams are examined when such beams propagate through anisotropic turbulence. Anisotropic turbulence is modeled by non-Kolmogorov von Karman spectrum. The variations of the ...

The scintillation index and the average bit error rate (BER) are evaluated for the optimum sinusoidal Gaussian beams in weak non-Kolmogorov turbulence. The beam parameters that minimize the scintillation index and the ...

The variations of the scintillation index of an asymmetrical Gaussian beam are investigated when the beam propagates in anisotropic non-Kolmogorov marine atmospheric turbulence. The results indicate that the scintillation ...
