Abstract
To effectively mitigate the influence of atmospheric turbulence, a novel
discrete-time analog transmission free-space optical (DTAT-FSO) communication
scheme is proposed. It directly maps information sources to discrete-time
analog symbols via joint source-channel coding and modulation. Differently from
traditional digital free space optical (TD-FSO) schemes, the proposed DTAT-FSO
approach can automatically adapt to the variation of the channel state, with no
need to adjust the specific modulation and coding scheme. The performance of
the DTAT-FSO system was evaluated in both intensity modulation/direct detection
(IM/DD) and coherent FSO systems for high-resolution image transmission. The
results show that the DTAT-FSO reliably transmits images at low received
optical powers (ROPs) and automatically enhances quality at high ROPs, while
the TD-FSO experiences cliff and leveling effects when the channel state
varies. With respect to the TD-FSO scheme, the DTAT-FSO scheme improved
receiver sensitivity by 2.5 dB in the IM/DD FSO system and 0.8 dB in the
coherent FSO system, and it achieved superior image fidelity under the same
ROP. The automatic adaptation feature and improved performance of the DTAT-FSO
suggest its potential for terrestrial, airborne, and satellite optical
networks, addressing challenges posed by atmospheric turbulence.
