In optical intersatellite communication, the background light consisting mainly of sunlight decrease transmission rate with increasing bit error. A spatial filtering system using a double-phase-conjugate mirror (DPCM) and a phase plate is proposed to block the background light, which cannot be filtered out by using wavelength filters, polarization filters, or dousers. In this system, the effect of wavefront distortion caused by the phase plate and the compensation effect of the distortion by phase conjugate light from the DPCM are effectively combined for spatially separating signal light and background light. We demonstrated the reduction of the background light by the proposed system and optimized the phase plate for maximizing this reduction effect. As a result, it was clarified that the transmission rate can be drastically improved up to 11-fold.
