Influence of Atmospheric Turbulence on Coherent Free-Space Optical Communications

Szymon Gładysz, Douglas J. McDonald, Raphaël Bellossi

Abstract

The development of coherent free-space optical communications systems could provide an opportunity for significantly increased data rates compared to the traditional intensity-modulation-based communications. In this work, we present experiments demonstrating coherent free-space optical communications over an outdoor free-space link with data rates on the order of Gbit/s.
