Optical communication can be deployed over a fiber-optic link or a free-space optical (FSO) link. Fiber-optic links are based on a closed two waveguide layers (core and cladding), protected by the jacket, for signal transmission, which are characterized by low-loss, extremely large bandwidth, small distortions, and represent relatively stable channels. FSO links are known for the “free” communication media, and have been widely used in shot-reach optical transmission systems. Despite the advantages of FSO channels, the performance of FSO transmission systems may be degraded by the atmospheric effects such as absorption, scattering effects, and atmospheric turbulence. Atmospheric turbulence is the main reason for channel fluctuation, as a result, the received beam will be affected by the intensity scintillation and spatial phase distortion. When spatial-mode multiplexing is used for FSO communication, mode crosstalk may become the limiting factor for the system capacity. In this chapter, we first analyze the atmospheric turbulence, and build a model to emulate the atmospheric turbulence channel. Then orbital angular momentum (OAM) multiplexing/demultiplexing will be introduced, followed by the description of approaches to mitigate the turbulence effects.
