摘要： Beam wander on the detector plane is one of the main causes of major power loss which severely degrades the performance of Free Space Optical (FSO) links. Confronted with this big problem, designing a suitable controller to compensate beam wandering at a fast rate so as to increase beam stability becomes significant. This chapter presents an investigation of the performance of two types of controller designed for increasing the stability of the beam on the detector plane under dynamic disturbances. The first design is based on Taguchi’s method: Response Surface Model (RSM) controller while the second is the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) method (neural-controller). These controllers process the beam spot information and generate the necessary outputs to mitigate beam wandering, so as to perfectly couple the Power In the Bucket (PIB): receiver aperture, into the detector. Pipelined-parallel architecture for both controllers are proposed and developed in a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). The implementation of these two candidate controllers is described in detail as installed at the receiver station. Evidence of the suitability and the effectiveness of the proposed controllers in terms of prediction exactness, prediction error, reduction of beam wander, response to impulse and effective scintillation index are provided through experimental results from the FSO link established for the horizontal range of 0.5 km at an altitude of 15.25 m.
