部分相干光通过强湍流对通信系统误码率的影响

为研究部分相干光通过强湍流对系统误码率的影响,借助对激光在大气湍流场中的传输方程进行解析求解(忽略系统中其他噪声,仅考虑由大气湍流引起的系统误码率),得到不同湍流内尺度、传输激光波长和光源相干参数条件下,系统误码率和传输距离的关系.结果表明:在强湍流条件下,当发射天线数目达到一定时,随着传输距离的增加,系统误码率逐渐增大,但增大到一定程度后趋于饱和;光源相干参数越大,系统误码率越低;湍流内尺度越大,系统误码率越高;传输激光波长的变化对系统误码率无明显影响.

Scintillation effect on intensity modulated laser communication systems—a laboratory demonstration

This paper shows the impact of atmospheric turbulence-induced fading on the symbol decision position in the on-off keying (OOK) and the binary phase shift keying (BPSK) subcarrier intensity modulated (SIM) laser communication link. Weak turbulence is simulated in the laboratory using a chamber equipped with heating elements and fans. We have shown that in atmospheric turbulence, it is advantageous to employ modulation schemes such as pulse time and subcarrier intensity modulations that do not directly impress data on the optical irradiance as is the case with the OOK. For the OOK-modulated laser communication system, atmospheric turbulence imposes complexity on the symbol decision subsystem and by extension places a limit on the achievable bit error rate (BER) performance.     

Bit error rate analysis with real-time pointing errors correction in free space optical communication systems

Pointing errors caused by the atmospheric turbulence will degrade the performance of free space optical (FSO) communication systems, especially the bit error rate (BER). In this paper, we innovatively analyze the relationship between BER and pointing errors by the probability density functions (PDFs) and intensity displacement in focal plane under the On-Off Keying (OOK) modulation conditions. The closed-loop experimental system is set up in laboratory, where the fast steering mirror (FSM) is real-time controlled by embedded controller with the parallel processing technology and the atmospheric turbulence is simulated by a turbulence simulation box. The results of repeated experiments show that the method of pointing errors correction we proposed is efficient under the conditions of atmospheric turbulence. By utilizing our method, the BER can decrease from nearly 10⁻³ to nearly or even below 10⁻⁹, thus improving the performance of FSO communication systems significantly.     

Influence of Non-Kolmogorov Turbulence on Bit-Error Rates in Laser Satellite Communications

In satellite–ground laser communications, atmospheric turbulence in the link degrades the performance of the system, so it is very important to estimate its influence on the performance of the system. The bit-error rate (BER) is an important parameter to indicate the communication performance of the system, which is directly used to judge the quality of the communication system. Using the results of our two previous papers, we analyze the joint influence of Kolmogorov turbulence from the ground up to 6 km and non-Kolmogorov turbulence above 6 km on the BER. These kinds of turbulence are associated respectively with the uplink and the downlink propagation channels for the geosynchronous orbit satellite communication system.     

Investigation on the influence of intensity scintillation and beam wander in space optical uplink DWDM communication system

Abstract

Dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) has been widely applied in ground optical communication. However, the technology of DWDM is still not mature enough in the space optical communication system. In order to further advance the use of DWDM into space optical communication, the probability density function (PDF) and the bit-error rate (BER) performance of DWDM is investigated in uplink communications under the influence of atmospheric turbulence, consisting of intensity scintillation and beam wander caused by atmospheric turbulence. Numerical results show that the atmospheric turbulence has a great impact on BER and PDF, and wavelength, divergence angel, and other relevant parameters should be carefully considered in this DWDM system. This work can be conducive for improving DWDM design of space optical uplink communication systems.     

Some limitations on optical communication reliability through Kolmogorov and non-Kolmogorov turbulence

In free-space optical communication links, atmospheric turbulence causes fluctuations in both the intensity and the phase of the received signal, affecting link performance.Influence of Kolmogorov and non-Kolmogorov turbulence statistics on laser communication links are analyzed for different propagation scenarios, and effects of different turbulence spectrum models on optical communication links are presented. Statistical estimates of the communication parameters such as the probability of fade (miss) exceeding a threshold dB level, the mean number of fades, and BER are derived and examples provided. The presented quantitative data suggest that the non-Kolmogorov turbulence effects on lasercom channels are more severe in many situations and need to be taken into account in wireless optical communication. Non-Kolmogorov turbulence is especially important for elevations above the boundary layer as well as for even low elevation paths over water.

Reliability analysis of an auto-tracked FSO link under adverse weather condition

In this paper, the effects of auto-tracking subsystems on the Bit-Error-Rate (BER) and reliability of free-space optical (FSO) communication links are investigated. Considering environmental influences on the laser beam intensity distribution in receiver, we study the propagation properties of Gaussian laser beams through a complete optical path. Then it is tried to derive an analytical formula for intensity distribution along the complete optical path as well as on the receiver's detector plane based on the Collins integral. Based upon the intensity formula, we calculate the values of signal to noise ratio (SNR), BER, and power while considering the effects of atmospheric losses due to absorption, scattering and turbulence on them. Using mentioned values, the role of auto-tracking subsystems on link reliability improvement in adverse weather condition is described. The related results are illustrated by graphs obtained by calculations and simulations.     

Performance analysis of FSO links under strong atmospheric turbulence conditions using various modulation schemes

Strong atmospheric turbulence is a major hindrance in wireless optical communication systems. In this paper, the performance of a wireless optical communication system is analyzed using different modulation formats such as, binary phase shift keying-subcarrier intensity modulation (BPSK-SIM), differential phase shift keying (DPSK), differential phase shift keying-subcarrier intensity modulation (DPSK-SIM), M-ary pulse position modulation (M-PPM) and polarization shift keying (PolSK). The atmospheric channel is modeled for strong atmospheric turbulences with combined effect of turbulence and pointing errors. Novel closed-form analytical expressions for average bit error rate (BER), channel capacity and outage probability for the various modulation techniques, viz. BPSK-SIM, DPSK, DPSK-SIM, PolSK and M-PPM are derived. The simulated results for BER, channel capacity and outage probability of various modulation techniques are plotted and analyzed.
