We demonstrate crosstalk mitigation using 4 × 4 multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) equalization on an orbital angular momentum (OAM) multiplexed free-space data link in free-space optical communication links. For multiplexed OAM beams, atmospheric turbulence causes fluctuations of the received light signal, induces inter-channel crosstalk among each beam and degrades the signal performance, impairing link performance. We investigate its principle theoretically and verify it via simulation, the results demonstrate that with the assistance of MIMO processing, the Constellation diagram performance can be improved. Differernt MIMO equalization algorithms is compared, mathematical derivation and experimental simulation show that compared with CMA(Constant Modulus Algorithm), MCMA(modified Constant Modulus Algorithm) can improve the performance effectively and mitigate the channel crosstalk more effectively . |
