This closed form expression takes fading induced as a result of atmospheric turbulence as well as due to pointing errors (misalignment induced fading) into account. An Optical Wireless Communication (OWC) system using intensity modulation/direct detection (IM/DD) with on-off keying (OOK), a popular technique to deploy commercial OWC systems is considered in this paper. Numerical results are further provided to collaborate on the derived expression.
