Free-space transmission system in a tunable simulated atmospheric turbulence channel using a high-repetition-rate broadband fiber laser

We demonstrate free-space transmission based on a broadband fiber laser at 16 Gbit/s over a simulated atmospheric turbulence channel. The broadband laser pulse is part of a supercontinuum generated by a homemade picosecond laser based on Raman gain soliton compression pumping a segment of highly nonlinear fiber. The scintillation indices, eye patterns, and bit error rates of transmission based on the broadband laser and a narrow-linewidth laser are compared. The results show a 29.5% reduction in the scintillation index and sensitivity of -28.6  dBm at the forward error correction limit, which has a 2.9 dB improvement compared with the narrow-linewidth system. It is feasible to use broadband lasers as carriers combining optical time division multiplexing as a multiplexing method to improve the communication performance under weak atmospheric turbulent conditions.
