Detection strategies for an optical communication system using Gaussian vortex beams.

In this paper, we describe the details of different detection strategies of a communication system using Gaussian vortex beams. These are listed as (a) simultaneous transmission of actual data symbol and reference signals (no multiplexing), (b) transmission of data symbol and reference signals in a wavelength division multiplexed manner, and (c) transmission of data symbol and reference signals in a time-division multiplexed manner. The performance of each one is evaluated for strong turbulence regimes with the help of an appropriately arranged random phase screen setup.

Optical communication system using Gaussian vortex beams.

We describe the details of an optical communication system using Gaussian vortex beams (GVBs). Our main focus will be on the detection strategy. The transmitter encodes the message symbols into the topological charges of the GVBs.

Hermite-sine-Gaussian and Hermite-sinh-Gaussian laser beams in turbulent atmosphere.

Hermite-sine-Gaussian and Hermite-sinh-Gaussian laser beam intensities in a turbulent atmosphere are investigated. The received intensity is formulated by applying the extended Huygens-Fresnel principle to generalized Hermite-hyperbolic-Gaussian and Hermite-sinusoidal-Gaussian beam incidences. From this result, the association to different types of Hermite-hyperbolic-Gaussian and Hermite-sinusoidal-Gaussian beams are defined.

Hermite-cosine-Gaussian laser beam and its propagation characteristics in turbulent atmosphere.

Hermite-cosine-Gaussian (HcosG) laser beams are studied. The source plane intensity of the HcosG beam is introduced and its dependence on the source parameters is examined. By application of the Fresnel diffraction integral, the average receiver intensity of HcosG beam is formulated for the case of propagation in turbulent atmosphere.
