Abstract
Coherent optical communication systems have high receiver sensitivities, high spectral efficiencies, and high-capacity information transmission, which are widely used in free-space optical communications. However, atmospheric turbulence affects the power budget of coherent receiving systems. Diversity can effectively suppress atmospheric turbulence, but relative phase differences caused by phase asynchrony degrade the performances of diversity systems. Hence, spatial diversity reception based on optimal branch block phase correction is proposed herein and verified through simulations and experiments to improve diversity gain and reduce the complexity and outage probability of diversity systems effectively. This scheme is promising for application to high-speed low Earth orbit satellite-to-ground communications.
