A fundamental requirement of free-space optical communication is the ability to efficiently couple atmospherically distorted light from a telescope to a detector. A numerical method is presented for modeling fiber-based receiver performance in atmospheric conditions based on phase space optics which does not rely on Monte Carlo methods. This method is employed to analyze the waveguide insertion loss and optimal coupling geometry in atmospheric conditions for step-index fibers, graded-index fibers, and photonic lanterns with and without tilt compensation and central obscurations in the telescope.
