Free space optical communication system based on wavefront sensorless adaptive optics

Free space optical communication technology approach has a number of advantages; unfortunately, it can be severely affected by atmospheric turbulence. Adaptive optics is the technology for correcting random optical wavefront distortions in real time. This paper is the research of a wavefront sensorless adaptive optics system which, in contrast with conventional AO systems, would offer reduced complexity, size and cost and would facilitate widespread application. Resulting aberration correction is demonstrated in laser communication system.
