A Summary on the Research of Atmospheric Turbulence in Satellite-ground Laser Communication

In the context of Satellite-ground laser commu-nication, one significant factor impacting the quality of information transmission is atmospheric turbulence. Analytical models from turbulence theory provide a means to analyze it. This paper begins by succinctly presenting the effects of atmospheric turbulence on optical quality and summarizing the mainstream research methodologies, with a particular emphasis on analytical analysis methods. We introduces various studies that used analytical models to assess the impact of atmospheric turbulence on laser communication performance. Finally, We look forward to the future trends and main challenges of this research, discussing aspects such as beam characteristics and turbulence media characteristics.
