Coherent Free-Space Optical Communications with Concurrent Turbulence Characterization in a Terrestrial Urban Link

arXiv:2601.03772

Abstract

We present a 19-day joint measurement of optical turbulence and coherent data communications over a 4.6 km urban FSO link, providing empirical insights into turbulence effects on the performance of fiber-coupled coherent communication systems.
