The coherent receiving method can improve the sensitivity of an optical signal receiver for free space optical communication system effectively. To implement coherent receiving, the phase offset between the local laser in the receiver and the received optical signal through the atmosphere needs to be measured and estimated. The commonly used algorithm is the Viterbi-Viterbi phase offset estimation method (VVPE) and this method always produces great errors especially with low SNR (signal to noise ratio). To improve the estimation performance, we present a new method combing the VVPE with the Kalman filter (VVPE-KF) to estimate the phase offset. This method can lower the estimation error by no less than 60%, when the SNR is low. To verify the performance of this new method, the constant parameter channel and atmosphere turbulence channel are employed to evaluate the algorithm. The impact of the atmosphere turbulence intensity on the tracking error is discussed.
