Abstract

See full text

The present disclosure provides systems and methods for FSO systems using active feedback noise reduction for light transmitted through a variably refractive medium. A telescope receives an inbound beam of light. A detector system includes a routing system, a noise reduction system, and a first detector. The noise reduction system has a splitter, a second detector, a controller, and a modulator. The second detector generates a sampled signal from a first portion of the inbound beam. The controller generates a control signal based on the sampled signal. The modulator attenuates a second portion of the inbound beam based on the control signal before detection by the first detector, thereby reducing variable noise caused by the variably refractive medium.
