The effects of laser beam multimode content on the angle-of-arrival fluctuations are examined for free-space optics (FSO) access systems. Multimode excitation is represented by coherent addition of Hermite-Gaussian modes. ...

Multiple-input single-output systems are employed in free-space optical links to mitigate the degrading effects of atmospheric turbulence. We formulate the power scintillation as a function of transmitter and receiver ...

Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) techniques are employed in free-space optical (FSO) links to mitigate the degrading effects of atmospheric turbulence. We consider a MIMO FSO system, which consists of a radial laser ...

For an annular beam incidence, the power scintillation index in a weakly turbulent atmosphere is derived at the receiver plane, which has a Gaussian aperture. Employing this derivation, the receiver-aperture averaging ...
