Properties of hyperbolic sinusoidal Gaussian beam propagating through strong atmospheric turbulence

Abstract

This paper presents evolution of hyperbolic sinusoidal Gaussian (HSG) beam and its point-like scintillation while propagating through turbulent atmosphere. We benefit from random phase screen approach to evaluate received field and scintillation. We see that astigmatic beams, which source parameters are not equal, are resistive against atmosphere considering intensity distribution. In case of scintillation, all selected HSG beams have less scintillation index than Gauss beam. In addition, astigmatism decreases scintillation at constant Gaussian source size. We anticipate that optical wireless communication devices can be designed using our outputs.
