Performance analysis of a coherent free space optical communication system based on experiment.

Based on our previous study and designed experimental AO system with a 97-element continuous surface deformable mirror, we conduct the performance analysis of a coherent free space optical communication (FSOC) system for mixing efficiency (ME), bit error rate (BER) and outage probability under different Greenwood frequency and atmospheric coherent length. The results show that the influence of the atmospheric temporal characteristics on the performance is slightly stronger than that of the spatial characteristics when the receiving aperture and the number of sub-apertures are given. This analysis result provides a reference for the design of the coherent FSOC system.
