Bessel Gaussian Beam Propagation through Turbulence in Free Space Optical Communication

Resumo

This paper investigated the experimental demonstration of jitter analysis for Bessel Gaussian beam propagation through the atmospheric turbulence conditions using two different wavelength lasers such as red and green laser. Axicon lens is used to generate Bessel Gaussian beam experimentally and different modulation schemes such as PAM, PPM, PWM, ASK, BPSK and QPSK are used to analyze the phase and time jitter. The Plano-Convex type Axicon is used to create a ring shaped approximation of a Bessel Gaussian beam which increases in diameter over distance while retaining a constant ring thickness. In this BG beam propagation, for red laser the noted phase jitter value is 45.196 radians in ASK and for green laser 36.955 radians in with turbulence conditions. Hence the lower wavelength BG laser beam (green laser) is more energetic than the lower wavelength BG laser beam (red laser).
