Abstract:
Long-range free space optical communications suffer from atmospheric turbulence effects. To mitigate them, a bidirectional full-wave compensation technique seems promising. We present an experimental implementation and characterization of this concept on a laboratory breadboard. Experimental results confirm former numerical results for similar propagation conditions. The effects of measurement and control errors are analyzed by numerical modeling.

Consider a scenario where a wave propagates from a string of low linear mass density to a string of high linear mass density. In such a case, the reflected wave is out of phase with respect to the incident wave, however the...
