Abstract
In a weakly marine turbulent medium, formulation of the on-axis scintillation index of a flat topped Gaussian beam is derived by using the Rytov method and the intensity has log-normal distribution expressed. The scintillation index and average bit error rate with respect to changes in propagation distance, wavelength, beam size, and average signal to noise ratio are exhibited. Our results indicated that small advantage can be achieved in weak atmospheric marine when focal length equals to propagation distance and when the order of flatness is small value.
