Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the beam wander in oceanic turbulence taking into account the misaligned displacements caused by slight changes in the position and attitude of the underwater platform. First, we derive the longitudinal distance and radial distance or the misaligned displacements according to the relationship between the misaligned transceivers. Then, we formulate the beam wander variance of a Gaussian beam propagating through oceanic turbulence. Finally, we obtain the beam wander variance in underwater wireless optical communications between the misaligned transceivers according to longitudinal distance. In addition, we express the mean pointing error displacements.
