The affection analysis and compensation for atmospheric overfall in free space optical communication system

The Free Space optical communication (FSO) or wireless optical communication, utilizes the atmospheric medium as transmission channel, where random variety such as fog, atomy and atmosphere flash and the atmospheric turbulence will badly affect the propagation of light, the receiving signal is easily swung and drifted with the change of weather. In this paper, we discussed the attenuation of the atmospheric channel and analyzed the signal characteristics in the condition of the atmospheric overfall, for the OOK modulation, discussed the receiving signal distribution in the atmospheric channel taking account for the noise gain of the light detector, and based on the principle of the Hartman-Shack sensor, we designed a wave-front distortion compensation system with fiber coupler. The signal fading resulted from wave-front phase distortion was compensated effectively by using the compensation system.
