Abstract:In order to obtain the change in the return laser-pulse peak-power instability with the distance between two communication terminals in a free-space optical communication (FSO) asymmetric link, which uses a corner-cube retroreflector (CCR) and a high peak-power pulse laser, we present the peak power instability of laser pulses retroreflected by the CCR at different distances. The CCR bottom surface was a circle with a diameter of 1 in., and three mirrors of the CCR were coated with silver. The weather was clou… Show more
