- Abstract
The Coherent Optical Receiver Experiment (CORE) at Jet Propulsion Laboratory (NASA)is investigated. Bit Error Rate (BER) results are presented for single and multichanel optical receivers for PPM signals where quasi-shot noise limited performance is achieved under simulated turbulence conditions using non-coherent post-detection processing techniques. Theoretical BER expressions are compared with experimentally obtained BER results, and array combining gains are presented. BER results are shown as a function of signal to noise ratio (SNR), photons per symbol, and photons per bit.
