“…a promising alternative in cases where buried fiber connectivity is costly and/or infeasible, including inter-building, video broadcasting, security, last-mile solutions, satellite communication, high-capacity backhaul network, etc [4]. With the development of FSO systems, receiver diversity has become an effective alternative to a single large receiver [5,6]. In recent years, space-to-fiber coupling structures based on few-mode fibers (FMFs) have been investigated as a promising technology for combating the turbulence effect within apertures [7].…”
