Abstract

Free-space optical communication receiver aperture is usually a single circular aperture. When the aperture size is large, its cost will be high. This paper proposes a new receiver aperture structure: equidistant dual-aperture receiver. The authors analyze its perfor- mance. Aperture Averaging Weight Factors of the two kinds of receiver structures are compared. The analysis results show that: Equidistant dual-aperture receiver can obviously decrease the Aperture Averaging Weight Factor, and reduce the optical scintillation.
