Coherent optical communication over the turbulent atmosphere with spatial diversity and wavefront predistortion

Optical communication through the atmosphere has the potential to provide data transmission over a distance of 1 to 100 km at very high rates. The deleterious effects of turbulence can severely limit the utility of such a system, however, causing outages of up to 100 ms. In this paper, we investigat...
