Satellite-to-ground optical communications using small optical transponder (SOTA)–received-power fluctuations

DR Kolev, M Toyoshima - Optics Express, 2017 - opg.optica.org
In this paper, experimental results related to the received-power fluctuations in a LEO
satellite-to-ground laser-communication link using the Small Optical TrAnsponder (SOTA)
are presented. The data is compared to the theoretical expectations based on the Hufnagel-
Valley model. The discrepancies in the results are discussed by spectrum analysis and by a
comparison with the Differential Image Motion Monitor (DIMM) measurements of the Fried
parameter. Finally, the experimentally-derived coherence time is shown and discussed.
