Free-Space Optical Communications Over Lognormal Fading Channels Using OOK With Finite Extinction Ratios

Free-space optical communication links operating over lognormal turbulence channels using on-off keying (OOK) are studied in this paper. Such systems can suffer from irreducible error floors that result from the use of demodulation with fixed and unoptimized detection thresholds. The resulting error...
