Optical wireless communication (OWC) refers to transmission in unguided propagation
media through the use of optical carriers, ie, visible, infrared (IR), and ultraviolet (UV) bands …

Abstract Theory of optical turbulence in underwater medium and the effects of underwater
turbulence on various applications done in underwater or under ocean are reviewed. A …

Abstract" This research monograph is a companion edition and update to the book: LC
Andrews and RL Phillips, Laser Beam Propagation through Random Media, 2nd edition …

We develop a model for the probability density function (pdf) of the irradiance fluctuations of
an optical wave propagating through a turbulent medium. The model is a two-parameter …

Atmospheric optical communication has been receiving considerable attention recently for
use in high data rate wireless links (Juarez et al., 2006)-(Zhu & Kahn, 2002). Considering …

A heuristic model of irradiance fluctuations for a propagating optical wave in a weakly
inhomogeneous medium is developed under the assumption that small-scale irradiance …

The lognormal (LN) and gamma-gamma (GG) distributions are compared to simulated and
experimental data of the irradiance fluctuations of a Gaussian beam wave propagating …

The effects of pointing errors on the performance of a free-space optical laser
communication system are studied. The log-normal and gamma-gamma irradiance …

Tap-proof long-distance quantum communication requires a deep understanding of the
strong losses in transmission channels. Here we provide a rigorous treatment of the effects …

Uplink scintillation is a serious issue for laser communication between a satellite and the
ground. Fluctuations on the uplinked beacon and communications laser can be minimized …
