Abstract
The performance of a free space optical (FSO) communication system is significantly affected by atmospheric turbulence and pointing errors (PEs) apart from the additive noise which is assumed to be Gaussian. The Malaga or M-distribution encompasses various proposed statistical models for atmospheric turbulence in FSO systems. An optical pre-amplifier is an essential component of FSO systems for improving the receiver (Rx) sensitivity. However, optical pre-amplification results in amplified spontaneous emissions (ASE), which dominate the Rx thermal and shot noises. The square law photodetection process at the Rx in a FSO system necessitates the consideration of Chi-square statistics for the decision variable contrary to the Gaussian approximation that is widely used in the literature. In this paper, we evaluate the bit error rate (BER) performance of a FSO system assuming non-return-to-zero on-off keying modulation in the presence of ASE noise under M-turbulence and PEs. We also derive asymptotic BER expressions for the considered FSO system for large values of signal-to-noise ratio in terms of simple elementary functions. A further insight into the system is provided by performing the diversity analysis.

Physical Layer Security of Hybrid Satellite-FSO Cooperative Systems

TL;DR: The physical layer secrecy performance of a hybrid satellite and free-space optical (FSO) cooperative system is studied and it is found that with the AF with fixed gain scheme, the secrecy diversity order of the investigated system is only dependent on the channel characteristics of the FSO link and theFSO detection type, whereas the secrecy Diversity is zero when the relay node employs DF or AF with variable-gain schemes.

Experimental and Analytical Investigations of an Optically Pre-Amplified FSO-MIMO System With Repetition Coding Over Non-Identically Distributed Correlated Channels

TL;DR: It is shown analytically that, both correlation and pre-amplification do not affect the diversity order of the system, however, both factors have contrasting behaviour with respect to coding gain.

Atmospheric Laser Communication Technology Based on Detector Gain Factor Regulation Control

TL;DR: Based on the working principle of the photoelectric detector in atmospheric turbulence, an optical communication receiving system based on the detector gain factor regulation control is designed, which calculates the scintillation variance according to the received signal in real-time, establishes the function conversion relationship between the SCI variance and the gain factor, realizes the closed-loop regulation control of the detector, and improves the SNR of the receiving system as discussed by the authors.
