Optimization of Beam Width, Bit Error Rate and Availability for Free-Space Optical Links
Abstract
The design of free-space optical (FSO) communication links based on beam width optimization is investigated. Bit error rate (BER) and link availability for on-off keying (OOK) and pulse position modulations (PPM) are analyzed. For a required BER and fixed transmitted optical power, optimizing the transmitted beam width maximizes link availability. The combined effects of atmospheric turbulence and pointing errors are considered. Different …
