Physical layer performance assessment of free-space optical communications links

This article investigates practical methods to assess and compare different candidate physical layers for free-space optical transmissions. The example of an OOK signal with a simple APD receiver is used as a guiding case study throughout the paper. In this particular configuration only the signal f...
