contents The line-of-sight (LOS) requirement of free-space optical (FSO) systems can be relaxed by employing optical intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRSs). In this paper, we model the impact of the IRS-induced delay dispersion and derive the channel impulse response (CIR) of IRS-assisted FSO links. The proposed model takes into account the characteristics of the incident and reflected beams' wavefronts, the position of transmitter and receiver, the size of the IRS, and the incident beamwidth on the IRS. Our simulation results reveal that a maximum effective delay spread of 0.7 ns is expected for a square IRS with area 1 $\mathrm{m}^2$, which induces inter-symbol interference for bit rates larger than 10 Gbps. We show that the IRS-induced delay dispersion can be mitigated via equalization at the receiver.
