Abstract

The mean irradiance profile has been widely applied in performance analysis and atmospheric channel research for free space optical communication; however, the modeling method and a closed-form expression of the mean irradiance profile under random jitter have rarely been discussed. To the best of our knowledge, this work presents a modeling method and a closed-form expression for a mean irradiance profile under random jitter through the ensemble average principle for the first time. We find that, with an increase in random jitter variance, the mean irradiance profile varied from an approximately Gaussian profile to a flat-topped profile to a hollow profile. These findings were verified using multilayer random phase screen simulations. The model of the mean irradiance profile under random jitter developed in this study will improve the accuracy of performance analysis and atmospheric channel research.
