Abstract

Results of field experiments on the influence of atmospheric conditions and some instrumental characteristics on the quality of information transfer in a bistatic optoelectronic communication system (OECS) operating in the visible wavelengths range are considered. The length of the atmospheric channel reached 17 km. Radiation of a copper bromide vapor laser with a wavelength of 510.6 nm was used as a signal source. It is shown that bistatic or over-the-horizon OECSs can operate both under the conditions of a cloudy and cloud-free atmosphere. Average values and standard deviations of communication errors were estimated under different atmospheric-optical conditions when some characteristics of individual instrumentation units varied.
