Block error rate performance of subcarrier intensity modulation based optical wireless communication systems is analysed over Gamma–Gamma and lognormal atmospheric turbulence channels. The analysis is applicable to non-coherent binary modulations and coherent binary phase shift keying. The special cases of K-distributed strong turbulence channel and negative exponential turbulence channel are a...

In this paper, we investigate the performance of the dual-hop free space optical (FSO) communication systems under the effect of strong atmospheric turbulence together with misalignment effects (pointing error). We consider a relay assisted link using decode and forward (DF) relaying protocol between source and destination with the assumption that Channel State Information is available at both ...

The knowledge of the characteristics of the atmospheric turbulence is of fundamental importance in order to improve the performances of the adaptive optics systems in the next generation of telescopes. Starting from the statistical description of the turbulence, we derive a random field spatial model of the turbulent phase. Then we use this spatial statistical model to compute the spatial innov...

Since its first experimental demonstration, ghost imaging has attracted a great deal of attention due to interests in its fundamental nature and its potential applications. In terms of applications, the most interesting and useful feature, perhaps, is the turbulence insensitivity of thermal light ghost imaging, i.e., atmospheric turbulence would not have any influence on the ghost images of sun...

We discuss some possibilities of introducing the distortions of an optical wave phase, propagating along vertical atmospheric path, as an integral characteristic, describing the turbulence along the path. Several models of the turbulence outer scale profile have been analyzed as well as the structural characteristic of the atmospheric refractive index fluctuations in order to find the value of ...

We study the effects of atmospheric turbulence on the entanglement of spatial two-qubit states that are prepared using the signal and idler photons produced by parametric down-conversion. Such states are the basic ingredients of quantum information protocols and can be prepared, for example, by making down-converted photons pass through a pair of double-apertures. We make use of the Kolmogorov ...

This paper estimates lower atmospheric refractivity (M-profile) given an electromagnetic (EM) propagation loss (PL) measurement. Specifically, height-independent PL measurements over a range of 10–80 km are used to infer information about the existence and potential parameters of atmospheric ducts in the lowest 1 km of the atmosphere. The main improvement made on previous refractivity estimatio...

A new formulation for eddy diffusivity is derived from Taylor’s statistical theory on turbulence and from a generalized turbulent spectral equation for energy in the inertial subrange. The latter aspect is taken into account for considering the intermittency phenomenon within turbulence model. The approach is used for a stable atmospheric boundary layer parameterization. r 2005 Elsevier B.V. Al...

Strong atmospheric turbulence (disturbance due to rain, fog, haze etc.) is a major problem in optical communication system. In this paper, the performance analysis of an optical communication system with Free Space Optics (FSO), Optical Wireless Communication (OWC) and Single Mode Fiber (SMF) in weak atmospheric turbulence has been analysed. Data stream is transmitted at 20Gbps using different ...
