AbstractFree Space Optics (FSO) also known as Optical Wireless Communication (OWC) is a communication technology in which free space/air is used as the propagation medium and optical signals are used as the information carriers. One of the most crucial factors which degrade the performance of FSO link is the signal attenuation due to different atmospheric weather conditions such as haze, rain, storm, and fog. In this paper, an improved performance analysis of a 2.5 Gbps FSO link under rain conditions has been reported using Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) as a pre-amplifier. The results show that the maximum link distance for an FSO link under rain weather conditions with acceptable performance levels (Q$$\sim6$$and BER$$ \le {10^{- 9}})$$in the absence of EDFA pre-amplifier is 1,250 m which increases to 1,675 m with the use of EDFA pre-amplifier.

This article addresses the issue of optical communication with Free Space Optics (FSO) and its use. The article deals with the design and construction of a monitoring system designed for the collection and processing of data characterizing the nature of conditions along the transmission path of a hybrid FSO system with a radio communication link. Due to the vulnerability of the FSO transmission channel to weather conditions, it is necessary to predict the strength of the received signal and switch to a backup line based on machine learning using decision trees.

AbstractIntersymbol interference and attenuation of signal are two major parameters affecting the quality of transmission in Free Space Optical (FSO) Communication link. In this paper, the impact of these parameters on FSO communication link is analysed for delivering high-quality data transmission. The performance of the link is investigated under the influence of amplifier in the link. The performance parameters of the link like minimum bit error rate, received signal power and Quality factor are examined by employing erbium-doped fibre amplifier in the link. The effects of amplifier are visualized with the amount of received power. Further, the link is simulated for moderate weather conditions at various attenuation levels on transmitted signal. Finally, the designed link is analysed in adverse weather conditions by using high-power laser source for optimum performance.

AbstractIn mode division multiplexing (MDM) free space optical (FSO) communication system, the atmospheric turbulences such as fog, rain, and haze cause adverse effects on system performance. This paper investigates the mitigation of atmospheric turbulences of FSO using MDM and decision feedback equalizer (DFE) with minimum mean square error (MMSE) algorithm. The implementation of the MMSE algorithm is used to optimize both the feedforward and the feedback filter coefficients of DFE. The proposed system comprises three parallel 2.5Gbit/s channels using Hermite–Gaussian modes. A data rate of 7.5Gbit/s over 40 m, 800 m, 1400 m, and 2km under medium fog, rain, haze, and clear weather, respectively, has been achieved. In addition, it is noticed that the link distance is reduced while increasing the attenuation. The simulation results revealed that a DFE improves the performance MDM FSO system while maintaining high throughput and desired low bit error rate.

AbstractThis paper investigates the impact of various parameters on the performance of inter-aircraft optical wireless communication (IaOWC) link. Also, an improved performance analysis of a 2.5 Gbps IaOWC link using an array of photodetectors at the receiver terminal has been reported. The results show an increase in the SNR and total power of the received signal at a link distance of 100 km by deploying a photodetector array at the receiver terminal.
