兰州地区光强分布及其起伏特性研究

在兰州地区夜间进行了链路长为610m的激光传输实验,研究了高斯激光在不同天气条件下的光强分布及其起伏特性.采用三维伪彩色变换方法,分析了光斑光强的空间分布规律,得到了光斑主瓣光强服从类高斯分布,并按照晴天、多云天、阴天的顺序,光斑几何中心位置附近光强分布的陡峭度依次减小,而其衰减则依次增大的结论.同时,利用实测光强值分析了大气闪烁指数,结果表明:晴天、雨后晴天和阴天下的闪烁指数分别为0.225 4、0.189 2、0.188 8,这说明晴天下的光强起伏大于雨后晴天和阴天的,且均为弱起伏.通过对归一化光强的频数分布进行非线性拟合得到了光强的概率密度分布,它们均服从对数正态分布,其中晴天下的概率密度曲线的拟合优度更是达到了0.997 50.

部分相干光通过强湍流对光强闪烁的影响

在Rytov方差的基础上，利用Andrews的唯像闪烁模型，推导出部分相干光通过强大气湍流后的对数光强起伏方差，并在此基础上进行了仿真。结果表明：与光源的相干性变差，即变为部分相干光后，对数光强起伏方差变小；当采用多束部分相干光通过大气湍流时，接收面上光强起伏方差得到明显改善，而且光束越多，改善越明显。但利用部分相干光通信时，传输距离受限制，所以，光源的相干参数选择要适当。

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.     

Measurement of scintillation and link margin for laser beam propagation on 3.5-km urbanised path

An experiment of laser propagation was carried out at the urban terrain range of 3.5 km during the period of March to May of 2006. The received intensity scintillations and atmosphere turbulence strength in complex urban atmosphere circumstance were simultaneously measured concentratively. The results show the statistical characteristics of irradiance scintillation and atmosphere turbulence strength and link fade margin for urban free-space optical links.     

Propagation properties of radial partially coherent flat-topped array beams in a turbulent atmosphere

With the help of the tensor method, the analytical expression for the cross-spectral density of the radial partially coherent flat-topped array (RPCFTA) beams propagating in a turbulent atmosphere is derived, where the correlated superposition and uncorrelated superposition are considered. The average intensity, the spatial coherence properties and power in bucket (PIB) of these kinds of beams are investigated in detail. It is shown by numerical results and analysis that the average intensity and the spatial coherence of the correlated or uncorrelated RPCFTA beams will change on propagation and this change is dependent upon the correlation of the source's beamlets and atmospheric turbulence. In addition, the comparisons of the average intensity and the spatial coherence between the correlated and the uncorrelated RPCFTA beams propagating both in turbulent atmosphere and in free space are also given, and some interesting results are obtained. The laser power of focus ability of the single PCFT beam is worse than that of the correlated RPCFTA beam and but better than that of the uncorrelated RPCFTA beam when propagation distance in turbulent atmosphere is far-field plane.

Joint influence of heterogeneous stochastic factors on bit-error rate of ground-to-ground free-space laser communication systems

Research methods for the formation of BER in the ground-to-ground Free-Space Laser Communication Systems (Free-Space Optics – FSO) with increased analytical effectiveness have been suggested. They correspond to physically rightful approximations with approbated quantity effectiveness. The methods have been used to study the influence of heterogeneous stochastic factors, such as: quantum noises, atmospheric transmittance fluctuations, mechanical vibrations of the transmitting laser antenna, atmospheric turbulence, on BER of FSO.

An algorithm for quantity estimation of the joint influence of all stochastic factors has been created. Numerical examples, illustrated by graphic material, have been shown.     

Speckle statistical properties of Gaussian beam from a semi-rough target in the atmospheric turbulence

Based on extended Huygens–Fresnel principle and Goodman model for target surface, analytic expression is developed for the mutual coherent function (MCF) of a reflected Gaussian-beam from a semi-rough target in single-pass atmospheric turbulence. Then according to the MCF we derive expression about the mean intensity and average speckle size at the receiver. The analysis indicates that the mean intensity is closely related to the ratio of root mean square (rms) height to the lateral correlation length; in addition, the speckle size is associated with turbulence strength and roughness of target. Our results agree with well-known the limiting cases of perfectly smooth and Lambertian target.     

Numerical approach to laser beam propagation through turbulent atmosphere and evaluation of beam quality factor

In this paper, propagation of a Gaussian laser beam through turbulent atmosphere is evaluated numerically. The beam quality factor for the propagated beam has been estimated for different turbulent conditions that are characterized by parameter C_n. The calculations show that the beam quality can be affected dramatically by atmospheric turbulence and the laser beam size and wavelength have major role in the results. Furthermore, the propagation of laser beam in longer distance results in more spatial perturbation of the beam. The results of these calculations and evaluation of beam quality factor M² can be used for estimating the refractive index structure parameter (or atmosphere turbulent parameter) C_n.     

星地激光链路中光束发散角与跟瞄误差的最佳比值

 实际星地光通信系统的发射光束为高斯型的情况下,跟瞄误差和大气闪烁是星地激光链路中的主要信道噪声源。在结合两者对系统性能影响的前提下,对星地激光通信链路进行了理论分析和模型建立。基于该模型对星地激光链路中光束发散角与跟瞄误差之比的优化选择问题进行了研究。结果表明：对于上行链路,在不同误码率需求下都存在一个光束发散角与跟瞄误差的最佳比值,使得上行链路余量最大;对于下行链路,在不同误码率要求下均存在一个光束发散角与跟瞄误差的最佳比值,使得下行发射光功率的需求最小。利用最优化方法和最小二乘法拟合,得到星地激光链路中光束发散角与跟瞄误差的最佳比值和系统误码率的经验公式。
