Research on adaptive optics technology based on phase contrast Gerchberg Saxton algorithm

Abstract In wireless optical communication, the optical signal passes through the atmospheric turbulence, resulting in the simultaneous distortion of the amplitude and phase of the optical signal at the receiving end. This article applies the idea of phase contrast method to simultaneously compensate the amplitude and phase of the optical signal at the receiving end, derives the mapping relationship between the compensated phase and light intensity, and obtains the required compensated phase for full-field compensation. Numerical calculations show that when the difference between zero-frequency phase compensation and nonzero-frequency phase compensation is ±π, the maximum light intensity compensation is obtained. Based on the Gerchberg Saxton algorithm, a new method is proposed to invert the compensated phase with the maximum light intensity after full-field compensation and perform full-field correction through the adaptive optical system. The numerical calculation and experiment show that the phase contrast Gerchberg Saxton algorithm can effectively compensate the distorted optical signals under different turbulence, and thus the received signals of optical wireless communication can be corrected in full field.
