Experimental Investigation of Mode Diversity Reception Using an Optical Turbulence Generator and Digital Holography

Optics 2022-09-16 v1 Signal Processing

Abstract

Mode diversity reception is experimentally investigated using an optical turbulence generator, off-axis digital holography, and digital demultiplexing. The results confirm improved fibre coupling efficiency when receiving the optical field using a multi-mode fibre instead of a single-mode fibre under turbulent conditions, specifically beam wander. The coupling loss is reduced by receiving additional modes.
