This paper investigates the performance of a hybrid single input multiple output radio frequency/free-space optics (SIMO-RF/FSO) communication system. Each SIMO-RF link is modeled as an independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) Rayleigh distribution, while the FSO link follows a generalized $M{\acute{a}}laga$ (M) distribution. Considering the fixed gain amplify-and-forward (AF) relay and misalignment errors, novel expressions for the outage probability (OP), average bit error rate (ABER) and average capacity are derived. Numerical results show that atmospheric turbulence and misalignment errors can seriously impair the system performance, and the hybrid RF/FSO communication system using SIMO-RF links can greatly improve system performance. We also analyze system performance under different types of modulation schemes. Numerical results are verified by Monte Carlo simulations.

In a free-space coherent optical communication system, wavefront distortion is frequently beyond the correction range of the adaptive-optics system after the laser has propagated through the atmospheric turbulence. A method of residual wavefront correction is proposed, to improve the quality of coherent optical communication in free space. The relationship between the wavefront phase expanded by Zernike polynomials and the mixing efficiency is derived analytically. The influence of Zernike-polynomial distortion on the bit-error rate (BER) of a phase-modulation system is analyzed. From the theoretical analysis, the BER of the system changes periodically, due to the periodic extension of wavefront distortion. Experimental results show that the BER after correction is reduced from 10^-1 to 10^-4; however, when the closed-loop control algorithm with residual correction is used, the experimental results show that the BER is reduced from 10^-1 to 10^-7.

We describe a common optical system that merges a LADAR system, which generates a point cloud, and a more traditional imaging system operating in the LWIR, which generates image data. The optimum diameter of the entrance pupil was determined by analysis of detection ranges of the LADAR sensor, and the result was applied to design a common optical system using LADAR sensors and LWIR sensors; the performance of these sensors was then evaluated. The minimum detectable signal of the $128{\times}128-pixel$ LADAR detector was calculated as 20.5 nW. The detection range of the LADAR optical system was calculated to be 1,000 m, and according to the results, the optimum diameter of the entrance pupil was determined to be 15.7 cm. The modulation transfer function (MTF) in relation to the diffraction limit of the designed common optical system was analyzed and, according to the results, the MTF of the LADAR optical system was 98.8% at the spatial frequency of 5 cycles per millimeter, while that of the LWIR optical system was 92.4% at the spatial frequency of 29 cycles per millimeter. The detection, recognition, and identification distances of the LWIR optical system were determined to be 5.12, 2.82, and 1.96 km, respectively.

많은 연구에서 비점착성 부유사의 입경분포를 평균입경와 표준편차를 이용해 묘사한다. 그러나 부유사는 크기가 다른 많은 입자의 혼합물로 구성되어 있다. 난류조건에서 부유사의 이동은 크기와 밀도로부터 계산된 침강속도에 영향을 받는다. 따라서 비점착성 부유사의 이동을 이해하려면 입경 분포를 보다 정량적으로 고려하는 것이 중요하다. 본 연구의 목적은 난류조건에서 부유사의 입경분포를 모의할 수 있는 간편한 모형화 방법을 제시하는 것이다. 점착성 유사와 비점착성 유사의 차이에 대한 이해를 바탕으로, 점착성 부유사를 위한 추계학적 응집 모형을 비점착성 유사의 입경분포 모의에 적합하도록 수정하였다. 본 연구에서 제안하는 간편법의 적용성을 살펴보기 위해 선행연구의 실험자료에 적용하여 모의 결과와 비교하였다. 수치 모의의 결과를 통해 본 연구에서 제안한 모형이 실험값에서 나타나는 주요한 특성을 모사할 수 있다는 점을 확인하였다. 이를 바탕으로 유사 이동 모형을 사용하여 부유사 입경분포를 모의하는 접근 방식이 부유사 입경분포의 중요한 특성을 이해하기에 효과적이라는 결론을 얻었다.
