The scintillation properties of astigmatic dark hollow beams (DHBs) in weak atmospheric turbulence were investigated in detail. An explicit expression for the on-axis scintillation index of an astigmatic DHB propagating in weak atmospheric turbulence was derived. It was found that the scintillation index value of an astigmatic DHB with suitable astigmatism (i.e., ratio of the beam waist size in the x direction to that in the y direction), dark size, beam waist size, and wavelength can be smaller than that of a stigmatic DHB and that of stigmatic and astigmatic flat-topped, annular, and Gaussian beams in weak atmospheric turbulence particularly at long propagation ranges. Our results will be useful in long-distance free-space optical communications. 相似文献

Based on the Huygens–Fresnel principle and Rytov method, the on-axis scintillation index is derived for hollow Gaussian beams (HGBs) in weak turbulence. The relationship between bit error rate (BER) and scintillation index is found by only considering the effect of atmosphere turbulence based on the probability distribution of intensity fluctuation, and the expression of the BER is obtained. Furthermore, the scintillation and the BER properties of HGBs in turbulence are discussed in detail. The results show that the scintillation index and BER of HGBs depend on the propagation length, the structure constant of the refractive index fluctuations of turbulence, the wavelength, the beam order and the waist width of the fundamental Gaussian beam. The scintillation index, increasing with the propagation length in turbulence, for the HGB with higher beam order increases more slowly. The BER of the HGBs increases rapidly against the propagation length in turbulence. For propagating the same distance, the BER of the fundamental Gaussian beam is the greatest, and that of the HGB with higher order is smaller. 相似文献

We study the propagation of the two lowest-order Gaussian laser beams with different wavelengths in weak atmospheric turbulence. Using the Rytov approximation and assuming a slow detector, we calculate the longitudinal and radial components of the scintillation index for a typical free-space laser communication setup. We find the optimal configuration of the two laser beams with respect to the longitudinal scintillation index. We show that the value of the longitudinal scintillation for the optimal two-beam configuration is smaller by more than 50% compared with the value for a single lowest-order Gaussian beam with the same total power. Furthermore, the radial scintillation for the optimal two-beam system is smaller by 35%-40% compared with the radial scintillation in the single-beam case. Further insight into the reduction of intensity fluctuations is gained by analyzing the self- and cross-intensity contributions to the scintillation index. 相似文献

AbstractWe study the scintillation behaviour of vectorial vortex beams in strong turbulence region. For this purpose, a list of vortex source beams is prepared. Then their scintillation performances are analysed one by one using the random phase screen approach. The results indicate that there will always be scintillation reductions with increasing values of topological charge, although its effect will diminish as we go towards higher values of the topological charge. The increases in the other specific beam parameters seem to have opposite effect. For the vectorial Hermite Gaussian beam, the use of higher orders will also aid scintillation reductions. It is foreseen that the outcome of this study will be useful for long haul optical communication links. 相似文献

Log-amplitude and phase correlations of general-type beams are formulated in atmospheric turbulence. A general beam is described as the superposition of many sets of multimode contents, each mode being off-axis Hermite-Gaussian. Since the Rytov solution is utilized, the formulas are valid in the weakly turbulent regime. The results are presented in integral forms that should be numerically evaluated for the specific beam type of interest. Our general beam results correctly reduce to the existing solutions for the correlations of limiting-case beams such as higher-order single-mode, multimode, off-axis Hermite-Gaussian, Hermite-sinusoidal-Gaussian, higher-order-annular, flat-topped-Gaussian, and thus naturally fundamental mode, plane, and spherical waves. Scintillation index and phase fluctuations in atmospheric optical links employing such special beams will be examined in future using the results reported here. 相似文献

The changes of the average intensity, the centre of beam gravity and the position of intensity maximum of decentred laser beams propagating through atmospheric turbulence are examined in detail. It is shown that the decentred intensity distribution is amended gradually with increasing the propagation distance and the strength of turbulence, and it becomes an off-axis Gaussian-like beam when the propagation distance and the strength of turbulence become large enough. The centre of beam gravity is independent of both the propagation distance and the strength of turbulence. On the other hand, there are two intensity maxima, and their positions are symmetrical around the propagation z-axis when the propagation distance z is small. With increasing z, there is only one intensity maximum. As z further increases, position of the intensity maximum is further shifted towards the z-axis. When z is large enough, the position of the intensity maximum is unchanged. The unchanged position of the intensity maximum moves further away from the z-axis with an increase in the refraction index structure constant, the decentred parameter and the waist width. 相似文献

We introduce a new method of estimating the coherence function of a Gaussian-Schell model beam in the inertial subrange of atmospheric turbulence. It is compared with the previously published methods based on either the quadratic approximation of the parabolic equation or an assumed independence between the source's randomness and the atmosphere using effective beam parameters. This new method, which combines the results of the previous two methods to account for any random source/atmospheric coupling, was shown to more accurately estimate both the coherence radius and coherence functional shape across much of the relevant parameter space. The regions of the parameter space where one method or another is the most accurate in estimating the coherence radius are identified along with the maximum absolute estimation error in each region. By selecting the appropriate estimation method for a given set of conditions, the absolute estimation error can generally be kept to less than 5%, with a maximum error of 7%. We also show that the true coherence function is more Gaussian than expected, with the exponential power tending toward 9/5 rather than the theoretical value of 5/3 in very strong turbulence regardless of the nature of the source coherence. 相似文献

Complex degree of coherence for partially coherent general beams in atmospheric turbulence 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

With the use of the general beam formulation, the modulus of the complex degree of coherence for partially coherent cosh-Gaussian, cos-Gaussian, Gaussian, annular and higher-order Gaussian optical beams is evaluated in atmospheric turbulence. For different propagation lengths in horizontal atmospheric links, the moduli of the complex degree of coherence at the source and receiver planes are examined when reference points are taken on the receiver axis and off-axis. In the on-axis case, it is observed that in propagation, the moduli of the complex degree of coherence are symmetrical and look like the intensity profile of the related coherent beam propagating in a turbulent atmosphere. For all the beams considered, the moduli of the complex degree of coherence profiles turn into Gaussian shapes beyond certain propagation lengths. In the off-axis case, the moduli of complex degree of coherence patterns become drifted at the earlier propagation lengths. Among the beams investigated, the cos-Gaussian beam is found to be almost independent of the changes in the source partial coherence parameter, and the annular beam seems to be affected the most against the variations of the source partial coherence parameter. 相似文献

采用二阶矩束宽、桶中功率和光束质量参数作为特征参数,研究了大气湍流对厄米-高斯(H-G)光束远场光束质量造成的影响,并对其作了详细的数值计算和分析。研究结果表明,在大气湍流中,TEM10模光束的相对展宽小于TEM00模光束的相对展宽。在湍流不太强的情况下,例如Rytov变量小于9时,TEM10模的PIB小于TEM00模光束的桶中功率,TEM10模的光束质量参数大于TEM00模光束的光束质量参数。但是,随着湍流的进一步增强,TEM10模的PIB和光束质量参数值逐渐趋近于TEM00模的PIB和光束质量参数值。 相似文献

By using the generalized beam formulation, the scintillation index is derived and evaluated for cosh-Gaussian beams in a turbulent atmosphere. Comparisons are made to cos-Gaussian and Gaussian beam scintillations. The variations of scintillations against propagation length at different values of displacement and focusing parameters are examined. The dependence of scintillations on source size at different propagation lengths is also investigated. Two-dimensional scintillation index distributions covering the entire transverse receiver planes are given. From the graphic illustrations, it is found that in comparison to pure Gaussian beams cosh-Gaussian beams have lower on-axis scintillations at smaller source sizes and longer propagation distances. The focusing effect appears to impose more reduction on the cosh-Gaussian beam scintillations than those of the Gaussian beam. The distribution of the off-axis scintillation index values of the Gaussian beams appears to be uniform over the transverse receiver plane, whereas that of the cosh-Gaussian beam is arranged according to the position of the slanted axis. 相似文献

Mode analysis of spreading of partially coherent beams propagating through atmospheric turbulence 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11

The spreading of partially coherent beams propagating through atmospheric turbulence is studied by use of the coherent-mode representation of the beams. Specifically, we consider partially coherent Gaussian Schell-model beams entering the atmosphere, and we examine the spreading of each coherent mode, represented by a Hermite-Gaussian function, on propagation. We find that in atmospheric turbulence the relative spreading of higher-order modes is smaller than that of lower-order modes, whereas the relative spreading of all order modes is the same as in free space. This modal behavior successfully explains why under certain circumstances partially coherent beams are less affected by atmospheric turbulence than are fully spatially coherent laser beams. 相似文献

A method of studying the M2-factor of truncated partially coherent beams both in free space and in turbulence is proposed, i.e., the method of the window function being expanded into a finite sum of complex-valued Gaussian functions. Taking the Gaussian Schell-model (GSM) beam as a typical example of partially coherent beams, the analytical formula of the M2-factor of truncated GSM beams propagating through atmospheric turbulence is derived. It is shown that the M2-factor decreases as the truncation parameter δ and the coherence parameter α increase. However, the M2-factor in turbulence is more sensitive to δ than that in free space. On the other hand, the M2-factor of truncated partially coherent beams with smaller δ is more affected by turbulence. In addition, the effect of turbulence on the M2-factor of truncated GSM beams is less sensitive to the coherence parameter α than that of nontruncated GSM beams. 相似文献

Spreading and directionality of partially coherent Hermite-Gaussian beams propagating through atmospheric turbulence 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The closed-form expression for the mean-squared beam width of partially coherent Hermite-Gaussian (H-G) beams propagating through atmospheric turbulence is derived. The influence of turbulence on the spreading of partially coherent H-G beams is studied quantitatively by examining the mean-squared beam width. It is found that the smaller the coherence length sigma(0) of the source is, and the larger the beam order m and the wavelength lambda are, the less partially coherent H-G beams are affected by the turbulence, although the beams with smaller sigma(0), larger m, and larger lambda have greater spreading in free space. In addition, it is shown that two partially coherent H-G beams may generate the same angular spread and that there exist equivalent partially coherent H-G beams that may have the same directionality as a fully coherent Gaussian beam in free space and also in turbulence. The results are illustrated by examples, and a comparison with previous work is also made. 相似文献

Taking the partially coherent Hermite-sinh-Gaussian (H-ShG) beam as a more general type of partially coherent beams, a comparative study of the beam-width spreading of partially coherent H-ShG beams in atmospheric turbulence is performed by using the relative width, normalized beam width, and turbulence length. It is shown that the relative width versus the beam parameters, such as the spatial correlation length sigma(0), beam orders m, n, Sh-part parameter Omega(0), and waist width w(0), provides a simple and intuitive insight into the beam-width spreading of partially coherent H-ShG beams in turbulence, and the results are consistent with those using the turbulence length. The validity of our results is interpreted physically. 相似文献

The scintillation index is formulated for a flat-topped Gaussian beam source in atmospheric turbulence. The variations of the on-axis scintillations at the receiver plane are evaluated versus the link length, the size of the flat-topped Gaussian source, and the wavelength at selected flatness scales. The existing source model that represents the flat-topped Gaussian source as the superposition of Gaussian beams is employed. In the limiting case our solution correctly matches with the known Gaussian beam scintillation index. Our results show that for flat-topped Gaussian beams scintillation is larger than that of the single Gaussian beam scintillation when the source sizes are much smaller than the Fresnel zone. However, this trend is reversed and scintillations become smaller than the Gaussian beam scintillations for flat-topped sources with sizes much larger than the Fresnel zone. 相似文献

The analytical expression for the spectral degree of coherence of partially coherent flat-topped beams propagating through the turbulent atmosphere is derived, and the spatial correlation properties are studied in detail. In particular, we find that the oscillatory behavior and phase singularities of the spectral degree of coherence may appear when partially coherent flat-topped beams propagate through the turbulent atmosphere; this behavior is very different from the behavior of Gaussian Schell-model beams. But the oscillatory behavior becomes weaker with increasing turbulence and even disappears when the turbulence is strong enough. The width of the spectral degree of coherence is always smaller than that of the spectral density in the far field when the turbulence is strong enough, whereas the width of the spectral degree of coherence in free space can be either larger or smaller than that of the spectral density in the far field. 相似文献

Based on the integral representation of Bessel function and the extended Huygens-Fresnel principle, an integral expression of the Wigner distribution function (WDF) for partially coherent Bessel-Gaussian beams (PBGBs) propagating through turbulent atmosphere has been obtained. Also, the analytical formulas of the M2-factor for PBGB propagation in such a medium have been derived, which can be applied to cases of different spatial power spectra of the refractive index fluctuations. The performed numerical results reveal that the M2-factor of a PBGB in turbulent atmosphere depends on the beam parameters of the initial input beam, the structure constants of the turbulent atmosphere, and the propagation distance. These results may be useful in long-distance optical communications in free space or in turbulent atmosphere. 相似文献

The evolution law of arbitrary order moments of the Wigner distribution function, which can be applied to the different spatial power spectra, is obtained for partially coherent general beams propagating in atmospheric turbulence using the extended Huygens–Fresnel principle. A coupling coefficient of radiant intensity distribution (RID) in turbulence is introduced. Analytical expressions of the evolution of the first five-order moments, kurtosis parameter, coupling coefficient of RID for general beams in turbulence are derived, and the formulas are applied to Airy beams. Results show that there exist two types for general beams in turbulence. A larger value of kurtosis parameter for Airy beams also reveals that coupling effect due to turbulence is stronger. Both theoretical analysis and numerical results show that the maximum value of kurtosis parameter for an Airy beam in turbulence is independent of turbulence strength parameter and is only determined by inner scale of turbulence. Relative angular spread, kurtosis and coupling coefficient are less influenced by turbulence for Airy beams with a smaller decay factor and a smaller initial width of the first lobe. 相似文献
