海洋湍流中光波特征参量和短期光束扩展的研究

Nikishov等建立的海洋湍流功率谱模型中,假设了海水有着稳定的分层.但是,实际海水通常不是稳定分层的,温度与盐度的涡流扩散率是不相等的.2017年,Elamassie等建立了考虑这些因素的更合理的海洋湍流功率谱模型.湍流介质中光波空间相干长度等基本特征参量在表征湍流强度和光传输相位校正技术等方面起着重要作用.本文基于Elamassie海洋湍流功率谱模型,重新推导出了海洋湍流中光波结构函数、光波空间相干长度和Fried参数的解析公式,并校验了所得公式的正确性.研究发现：当温度变化引起的光学湍流占主导地位时,Nikishov海洋湍流功率谱模型把湍流强度低估了;当盐度变化引起的光学湍流占主导地位时,Nikishov海洋湍流功率谱模型把湍流强度高估了.基于Elamassie海洋湍流功率谱模型,本文推导出了高斯光束短期光束扩展的半解析公式,并验证了其正确性.研究还表明：海水稳定分层与否,短期光束扩展差异很大.本文研究结果对水下湍流环境中的光通信、成像和传感等应用具有重要意义.

基于广义惠更斯-菲涅耳原理和维格纳分布函数方法,推导出了部分相干双曲正弦高斯(ShG)光束在湍流大气中M2因子的解析表达式。在此基础上研究了部分相干ShG光束的湍流距离,即湍流引起的光束扩展可忽略的范围。采用Von Karman谱分别对M2因子和湍流距离进行了数值计算,并分析了内外尺度的影响。研究表明:M2因子随束腰宽度和离心参数的增加存在极小值;湍流距离随束腰宽度的增加存在极大值,随离心参数的增加而增加,大气湍流对离心参数较大的光束影响较小。另外,M2因子和湍流距离与折射率结构参数、内尺度、外尺度、波长和相干参数等密切相关。

给出了部分相干平顶光束通过非Kolmogorov湍流传输的湍流距离解析表达式,并研究了非Kolmogorov湍流的湍流广义指数、内尺度、外尺度和光束参数对部分相干平顶光束湍流距离的影响。研究表明:湍流距离随相干参数、束腰、外尺度(当湍流广义指数的取值为3.6~4.0时)的增大而减小;随光束阶数、内尺度的增大而增大;随湍流广义指数先减小后增大,且在湍流广义指数取3.11时存在极小值,即光束扩展的极大值。同时利用湍流广义指数及光束参数,具体比较了湍流距离与瑞利区间的大小,并指出光束参数及湍流广义指数决定了湍流是否在瑞利区间内就能对光束扩展构成明显的影响。

非Kolmogorov湍流相位屏仿真及对光束传输模拟的影响

采用正态分布模型来描述传播路径上功率谱幂值的非均匀性,利用功率谱反演法构建了基于等效结构常数的非Kolmogorov湍流相位屏,并利用多重相位屏法进行了高斯光束在均匀各向同性湍流与非Kolmogorov湍流两种模型下的传输模拟。通过观察模拟光束的光强均匀度、光束漂移以及闪烁指数等,研究了非Kolmogorov湍流对光束传输模拟的影响。结果发现,当光束通过单个非Kolmogorov相位屏时,光强最大值与光强均匀度随着幂值先增大后减小,光束漂移随幂值在一定范围内单调变化。当光束通过多重相位屏时,发现模拟光束的光强闪烁指数会受到相位屏数量以及湍流模型的影响,当相位屏数量较多时,均匀各向同性湍流模型下模拟得到的光强闪烁指数会大于非K湍流模型下的结果,且非K湍流模拟的光束漂移与均匀各项同性湍流模拟得到的光束漂移的相对误差会随着相位屏数量增多而趋于0。     

LIDAR systems operating in a non-Kolmogorov turbulent atmosphere

ABSTRACT

It is well known that in free atmosphere the Kolmogorov power spectrum of the refractive index might not properly describe the actual turbulence behavior. In this paper, we use general non-Kolmogorov power spectrum for theoretical investigation of laser beam propagation in the double-passage problem: transmitter–target–receiver. The major application of our work is the Light Detection And Ranging (LIDAR) system operating at high altitudes, where non-Kolmogorov turbulence may be present. On confining ourselves to the weak turbulence regime, we show that the long-term average beam intensity profile, the long-term beam spread and the scintillation index are substantially affected by the non-Kolmogorov turbulent channels. Our analysis is valid for both bi-static and mono-static configurations, the latter leading to the enhanced backscattering effects.     

Calculation of turbulence effects on acoustic remote-sensing system

Summary A mathematical tool for the calculation of the effects of turbulence on acoustic remote-sensing systems is described. The systems taken into account are sodar, which operates in air, and underwater acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCP). Included in the modelling are echo spectrum broadening and the contribution of turbulence to the scattering cross-section. A method for the measurement of the transverse velocity with a single beam is also suggested.     

Moments of intensity distribution of super-Gauss beam in turbulent atmosphere

Moment of intensity distribution is one of the most important parameters in studying the propagation of a beam in turbulent atmosphere. With the help of Wigner transform and the expansion of mutual coherence function (MCF) of turbulence, a relation between the moment of intensity distribution and the moment of power spectrum of refractive index fluctuations is found. The study shows that the jth-order moment of beam intensity distribution is only affected by the moment of power spectrum of refractive index fluctuations which order is not larger than j. Meanwhile, the expressions for the moment of beam intensity distribution, in which order is not larger than the fourth order are given. As a special case, the moments of the super-Gaussian beam (SGB) in turbulence are studied. The evolution of the kurtosis parameters of SGB under different condition is investigated in detail.     

Average spreading and directionality of broadband partially coherent beam in non-Kolmogorov turbulence

The average spreading and directionality of broadband partially coherent beam (BPCB) in non-Kolmogorov turbulence is studied. The effects of exponent value α, propagation distance, spectrum width, inner and outer scale parameters is studied in detail. Numerical calculation reveals that the beam width increases with the increasing in spectrum bandwidth just like when propagating in Kolmogorov turbulence, however, the beam width may vary as much as by a factor of 50% with different α. The difference in beam width between monochromatic partially coherent beam (MPCB) and BPCB at the receiving plane may vary from 2% to 10% with different α. The angular spreading is more sensitive to α than the spectrum bandwidth; also it is more sensitive to the inner scale parameters than the outer scale parameter.     

特殊函数在湍流大气传输光束漂移中的应用

研究特殊函数在激光湍流大气传输光束漂移效应中的应用,为提高跟瞄系统的瞄准精度提供理论依据。基于特殊函数和修正Von Karman谱,对斜程湍流大气传输光束漂移方差表达式进行了数值仿真。数值模拟表明,特殊函数高次项的近似舍去对激光湍流大气传输光束指向精度影响甚微。在外尺度较小时,光束漂移方差变化较快;随着外尺度的增加,光束漂移增加缓慢且趋于饱和。在相同的外尺度下,发射孔径（初始光束束径）与发射天顶角的增大对光束漂移具有抑制作用,且天顶角接近π/2,光束漂移角方差快速减小。     

Laser array beam propagation through liver tissue

Laser array beam propagating through mouse liver tissue is investigated. The turbulence power spectrum of the liver tissue is employed in the extended Huygens–Fresnel method to obtain an optical intensity profile and beam broadening at the observation point in biological liver tissue. Variations of the beam profile and the beam broadening are simulated based on the number of beamlets, source size, wavelength and the ring radius of the array. A biological tissue, illuminated by the laser array beam, exhibits different beam profiles and beam spot radius variations when the number of beamlets, source size, wavelength and the ring radius of the laser array beam are varied. Examining these variations observed in the propagated optical beam and comparing them with the test cases, abnormalities such as cancer and tumor in a biological liver tissue can be diagnosed.     

高斯波束在湍流大气斜程传输中的闪烁问题研究

根据光波斜程传输理论以及随高度变化的ITU-R湍流大气结构常数模型,将水平传输的修正里托夫方法推广到了斜程传输问题中。导出了高斯波束入射时,在零内尺度湍流谱模型及考虑湍流内尺度效应和外尺度效应条件下,从弱起伏湍流区到强起伏湍流区闪烁指数随斜程里托夫方差变化的计算公式。讨论了不同传播高度、不同湍流内、外尺度对高斯波束斜程传输闪烁指数的影响。最后将有关数值计算结果与实验测量结果进行了比较和验证。     

湍流大气中斜程传输部分相干光的光束扩展

运用维格纳分布函数与广义惠更斯菲涅耳原理,推导出部分相干光束在任意折射率起伏功率谱模型的大气湍流中斜程传输时,其束宽传输的一般解析表达式。在此基础上,以部分相干平顶(PCFT)光束为例,给出了PCFT光束在大气湍流中斜程传输的束宽扩展解析表达式。在合肥地区大气折射率结构常数高度分布模式下开展了数值计算和分析,并与水平传输时的结果进行了比较。研究结果表明,光束在斜程传输时的束宽不仅与光束阶数、空间相干度、束腰半径、湍流的强弱和传输距离有关,还与天顶角密切相关。光束的阶数越高,空间相干性越差,天顶角越小,则其束宽扩展受湍流的影响就越小。当天顶角小于60°时,大气湍流对斜程传输光束束宽的影响明显小于水平传输的情况。     

Non-Kolmogorov湍流大气中小尺度热晕效应线性理论

从小尺度热晕线性理论出发,在non-Kolmogorov谱的基础上,得到了non-Kolmogorov谱湍流下热晕相位补偿的Strehl比表达式,分析了湍流谱对高能激光的相位补偿的影响.研究结果表明湍流谱对湍流热晕效应的相位补偿有重要的影响.在相同的湍流菲涅耳数下,当谱指数越接近于3时补偿效果越差,谱指数接近于4时补偿效果越好.在相同大气相干长度条件下或在相同湍流折射率常量条件下,当谱指数接近于3时,Strehl比随热晕效应的增强而下降变快,当湍流谱指数逐渐接近于4时,Strehl比下降速度变慢.其原因是随着湍流谱指数的增大,湍流热晕相互作用引起的对数振幅起伏增长变慢.     

Turbulence in a Maxwell fluid

Three-dimensional homogeneous isotropic turbulence is formulated in terms of a discrete stochastic process in Fourier space. The time-dependent joint probability distribution of the stochastic Fourier modes is governed by a multivariate master equation. It is demonstrated that the characteristic functional of the stochastic process obeys the Hopf functional equation. As a first application of the method stochastic simulations of the Burgers's turbulence model are performed and shown to yield the expected energy spectrum.     

Capacity of wander and spread beams in log-normal distribution non-Kolmogorov turbulence optical links

We model the average channel capacity of optical wireless communication systems in weak turbulence horizontal channels, using the log-normal distribution models. The effects of beam wander and spread, pointing errors, turbulence inner scale, turbulence outer scale and the spectral index of non-Kolmogorov turbulence on system's performance are included. The model can evaluate the influence of the atmospheric turbulence conditions in the performance of a ground-to-train optical wireless communication system.     

Effects of inner and outer scale on the modulation transfer function for a Gaussian wave propagating through anisotropic non-Kolmogorov turbulence

Both experimental results and empirical research have shown that the atmospheric turbulence can present the anisotropic property not only at a few meters above the ground but also at high altitudes of up to several kilometers. This paper investigates the modulation transfer function of a Gaussian beam propagating along a horizontal path in weak anisotropic non-Kolmogorov turbulence. Mathematical expressions are obtained based on the generalized exponential spectrum for anisotropic turbulence, which includes the spectral power law value, the finite inner and outer scales of turbulence, the anisotropic factor, and other essential optical parameters of the Gaussian beam. The numerical results indicate that the atmospheric turbulence would produce less negative effects on the wireless optical communication system with an increase in the anisotropic factor.
