Abstract:
We present a field demonstration of turbulence-resilient 10 Gbit/s 16-QAM coherent communications over an 800 m free-space link based on the pilot-assisted scheme. Turbulence is characterized by imaging the received beam, and results demonstrate the robustness of the scheme in moderate turbulence.
