Targeting researchers, engineers, and graduate students in aerospace engineering, optical communications, and space science, the book addresses a fundamental bottleneck in deep space exploration: severe signal degradation caused by coronal plasma turbulence. The main topics encompass the physical modeling of the coronal environment, including non-Kolmogorov turbulence spectra and solar wind plasma dynamics. It presents a unified analytical framework for characterizing optical wave propagation impairments such as intensity scintillation, phase fluctuations, and angle-of-arrival variations. The text includes a comprehensive performance evaluation of single-link systems under various modulation schemes, such as PPM and hybrid LP-PM MSK-SIM, as well as the design of advanced relay-assisted architectures, including mixed RF\/FSO and dual-hop FSO systems. These topics are critically important because deep space missions require exponentially higher data rates for scientific payloads, while traditional radio frequency links are approaching fundamental bandwidth and power limitations. The central problem this book addresses is the absence of a unified, physically accurate framework to predict and mitigate the effects of coronal turbulence, offering both theoretical foundations and practical design guidelines. This work facilitates the development of high-reliability, high-capacity optical links during solar conjunction, thereby supporting future human and robotic exploration of the solar system.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGuanjun Xu is a professor in the Space Information Research Institute, Hangzhou Dianzi University, China.
