This study quantifies the impact of laser linewidth on the performance of free-space optical communication systems employing DPSK and QPSK modulations. Through an experimental self-heterodyne measurement campaign and numerical simulations, the paper identifies critical performance metrics such as BER and OSNR dependency on phase noise. This data provides technical requirements for laser source selection in high-bandwidth satellite links.
