Abstract
In this paper, a novel model for the atmosphere as an optical communication channel is investigated. In this model an unbounded plane wave operating under weak irradiance fluctuation conditions is assumed, considering a second-order Gaussian statistical model as reference. Here, the obtained spectrum is compared with the more physically realistic Id theoretical equivalent one, generated from the 3d Kolmogorov spectrum. The obtained results show a very good accuracy and a great reduction of computational complexity. © 2006 IEEE.
