Atmospheric coherence length is a critical indicator of the impact of atmospheric turbulence on free-space optical communication links. This paper proposes a novel strategy for measuring atmospheric coherence length by utilizing extended targets as the information source. Specifically, the method integrates the wavefront structure function approach with the extended target offset algorithm to directly estimate the atmospheric coherence length. Traditional methods, such as the Differential Image Motion Monitor (DIMM), typically rely on guide star targets, which are difficult to set appropriately in horizontal communication links, thereby limiting their effectiveness in practical applications. In contrast, employing extended targets as direct detection targets provides a feasible solution for measuring atmospheric coherence length. The paper first reviews the principles and current research status of mainstream algorithms, emphasizing the reliance of existing algorithms on guide star targets and their limitations in horizontal links. Subsequently, we propose a new measurement scheme that combines the improved normalized cross-correlation algorithm with the wavefront structure function method to estimate atmospheric coherence length under extended targets scenarios. In comparison to traditional measurement methods, our approach enables coherence length measurement based on extended targets in horizontal links, thereby significantly reducing system complexity and equipment costs. To validate the effectiveness and measurement accuracy of the proposed method, both simulations and experiments were designed and conducted. The results demonstrate that the coherence length values measured by this method are highly consistent with those obtained using the DIMM method and the wavefront phase variance method, with a measurement accuracy error of approximately 4%. This indicates that the proposed method can effectively assess atmospheric coherence length, thereby providing a valuable reference for enhancing the reliability of free-space laser communication systems.
