Abstract
In the free space optical communication system, atmospheric turbulence (AT) will distort the helical phase of the orbital angular momentum (OAM) beam, resulting in inter-mode crosstalk and system performance degradation. Based on modified Gerchberg-Saxton (GS) algorithm, this paper proposes a wavefront sensorless adaptive optics system to compensate the wavefront distortion of an OAM beam. For the modified GS algorithm, at each iteration, the spatial phase is re-modulated to descend along a new phase gradient direction to improve algorithm convergence. At the same time, in the spatial domain, negative feedback is generated by nonlinear operation to optimize the beam amplitude, so as to speed up the convergence speed of the algorithm. Simulation results show that our modified GS algorithm can better compensate the wavefront distortion of an OAM beam caused by atmospheric turbulence than the traditional GS and hybrid input–output algorithms, which provides a new idea to solve the problem of atmospheric turbulence in free space optical communication system.
