ABSTRACT
This paper numerically and experimentally investigates the performance of free-space optical receiver using modes diversity coherent receipt under moderate-to-strong turbulence. By utilizing a three-mode photonic lantern with digital maximum ratio combining, a 40 Gbps QPSK optical signal is received. The turbulence strength is measured by the ratio of beam diameter to atmospheric coherence length, D/r0. The larger the D/r0, the stronger the turbulence is, and vice versa. Compared with conventional single mode fiber based receipt, the required transmitted power can reduce by 4.6 dB and 4 dB at 10% interruption probability under turbulence strength D/r0 = 8 and 16. The required transmitted power at bit error ratio of 2.2 × 10-2 can relax by 4.2 dB and 5 dB under turbulence strength D/r0 = 8 and 16.
