Orbital Angular Momentum Multiplexed Free-Space Optical Communication Systems Based on Coded Modulation

Abstract

In this paper, we experimentally investigate the turbulence mitigation methods in free-space optical communication systems based on orbital angular momentum (OAM) multiplexing. To study the outdoor atmospheric turbulence environment, we use an indoor turbulence emulator. Adaptive optics, channel coding, Huffman coding combined with low-density parity-check (LDPC) coding, and spatial offset are used for turbulence mitigation; while OAM multiplexing and wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) are applied to boost channel capacity.
