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.

Improved Performance

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.

The Impact

AbstractIn this paper, we report the modeling and simulative investigation of a mode division multiplexing (MDM)-based Radio over Free space optics (RoFSO) transmission system. Two separate 10 Gbit/s–10 GHz information signals are transported successfully over 30 km link range using distinct Hermite Gaussian (HG) modes. Also, the decomposition of distinct modes at the receiver terminal has been reported in this work. Furthermore, the impact of different fog conditions and scintillation effect on the performance of the proposed link has also been discussed in this paper.

Abstract In this work, a free-space optical (FSO) communication system with the integration of mode division multiplexing and circular polarization shift keying (CpolSK) is proposed at 2 × 40 Gbps using LG00 and LG01 modes. Effects of diverse weather conditions such as clear weather, light rain, moderate rain, heavy rain, thin fog, thick fog, and heavy fog are studied on system performance. Further, a detailed comparison of CpolSK and polarization shift keying (PolSK) is performed at different FSO lengths in terms of log bit error rate. For implementation, analysis, and comparison, Optiwave Optisystem software is used and results show that CpolSK covers 100 km link distance and PolSK limits to 90 km only. Also, LG00 mode performs better than LG01 mode under all weather instabilities in the proposed system.

AbstractComplementing wireless radio networks with free-space optics (FSO) achieves high data rates by modulating radio subcarriers over an optical carrier without expensive optical fiber cabling, enabling a pervasive platform for reaching underserved areas. In this paper, we review the main features of FSO for terrestrial and inter-satellite communications. Simulations of 1 Gbps data transmission through FSO links in both terrestrial and inter-satellite communications have been investigated to highlight potential atmospheric challenges in FSO.

Free space optics is the present trend, which enables the communication to achieve the expected data rates for the increasing user demands. The utility of FSO in free space medium enables higher data rates than the conventional microwave links for efficient communication. Several researchers have performed the analysis of free space optics by use of different modulation techniques and optimization of the link budget in free space optical links. In this work, CW laser transmitting source ranging to 10dB of output level, link ranges of 500, 1000 and 1500 mts with attenuation values of 0.2, 0.7 and 0.9 dB/Km respectively are considered. The analysis of free space optics is carried out by using various modulation techniques such as ASK, PSK, FSK, MZ, EA, Dual Drive MZ and it is observed that Dual Drive MZ modulation performs well when compared with the other modulation techniques.

Free Space Optics (FSO) shows a great alternative as the solution for last mile problem where fiber optics is unavailable due to deployment time and cost constraint.  However, the feasibility of using FSO system as communication link very much depends on local weather.  Since tropical region experiences heavy rainfall, rain with high intensity is expected to affect the FSO link severely. Few prediction models have been proposed by ITU-R based on France and Japan’s measurement. This paper has compared  rain attenuation predicted by  models and  data measured in Malaysia over Free Space Optical links for one year period. Prediction models are clearly unable to predict attenuation measured in tropical climate. ABSTRAK: Wayarles optik menjadi alternatif sebagai satu penyelesaian kepada masalah kesesakan terutama diakhir sesuatu talian dimana ianya tidak dapat diselesaikan dengan menggunakan gentian fiber akibat daripada kekangan masa pemasangan dan masalah kewangan.  Walaubagaimanapun, kejayaan untuk menggunakan wayarless optic ini amat bergantung kepada keadaan cuaca di sesuatu tempat.  Di rantau tropika  hujan lebat sentiasa dialami, oleh itu hujan dengan kepadatan tinggi adalah dijangkakan lebih memberi kesan kepada talian wayarles optic ini. Beberapa model yang telah dicadangkan oleh ITU-R berlandaskan kepada pengumpulan data yang dibuat di Perancis dan Jepun.  Kertas kajian ini akan membandingkan antara model-model yang telah digunapakai dengan data yang dikumpulkan di Malaysia selama setahun.  Jelasnya model yang telah digunapakai tidak dapat digunakan secara berkesan di rantau tropika.KEYWORDS: free space optics; rainfall rate; rain attenuation
