This paper presents performance analysis of cascaded radio frequency-free space optical communication-visible light communication (RF-FSO-VLC) system. The proposed model comprises of the RF link as the core network, a terrestrial optical link for providing last mile connectivity with the indoor cell users communicating through VLC environment. The RF link undergoes Nakagami-m distributed fading, while the terrestrial optical link is modeled by Double Generalized Gamma (DGG) distributed turbulence and Rayleigh-distributed misalignment losses. VLC links are characterized by the randomness in users’ position. Using statistical properties of system signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), outage and error performance of the proposed system is evaluated depending on whether the relays and the destination decode either perfectly or erroneously. The numerical results show that the system performance varies depending on field-of view (FOV) of the detector and user’s position. This is because as FOV increases along with the height of the LED, the outage probability of the system increases. Error probability depends on the type of detection techniques, where a heterodyne detection system performs better than a direct detection system. Moreover, through results it is inferred that severe fading and misalignment losses result in poor error performance of the considered system errors on the performance of the considered cooperative system.

Visible light communication (VLC) systems are inherently signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) limited due to link budget constraints. One favourable method to overcome this limitation is to focus on the pre-log factors of the channel capacity. Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) techniques are therefore a promising avenue of research. However, inter-channel interference in MIMO limits the achievable capacity. Spatial modulation (SM) avoids this limitation. Furthermore, the performance of MIMO systems in VLC is limited by the similarities among spatial channels. This limitation becomes particularly severe in intensity modulation/direct detection (IM/DD) systems because of the lack of phase information. The motivation of this paper is to propose a system that results in a multi-channel transmission system that enables reliable multi-user optical MIMO SM transmission without the need for a precoder, power allocation algorithm or additional optics at the receiver. A general bit error performance model for the SM system is developed for an arbitrary number of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) in conjunction with pulse amplitude modulation. Based on this model, an LED array structure is designed to result in spatially separated multiple channels by manipulating the transmitter geometry. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Optical wireless communication’.

Due to recent advances in laser satellite communications technology, free-space optical (FSO) links are presented as an ideal alternative to the conventional radio frequency (RF) feeder links of the geostationary satellite for next generation very high throughput satellite (VHTS) systems. In this paper, we investigate the performance of multibeam VHTS systems that account for nonlinear high power amplifiers at the transparent fixed gain satellite transponder. Specifically, we consider the forward link of such systems, where the RF user link is assumed to follow the shadowed Rician model and the FSO feeder link is modeled by the Gamma-Gamma distribution in the presence of beam wander and pointing errors where it operates under either the intensity modulation with direct detection or the heterodyne detection. Moreover, zero-forcing precoder is employed to mitigate the effect of inter-beam interference caused by the aggressive frequency reuse in the user link. The performance of the system under study is evaluated in terms of the outage probability, the average bit-error rate (BER), and the ergodic capacity that are derived in exact closed-forms in terms of the bivariate Meijer's G function. Simple asymptotic results for the outage probability and the average BER are also obtained at high signal-to-noise ratio.

We performed a theoretical and experimental study of a 10.6 μm heterodyne detection system with nonlinear postdetection. A single laser serves as both transmitter and local oscillator; the intermediate frequency is given by the Doppler effect due to a rotating target. An electrooptic crystal modulates the amplitude of the laser beam at a frequency of 15 kHz; a synchronous voltmeter measures the return signal after the nonlinear element. Values of the signal-to-noise ratio with respect to incident optical power agree with the results of the theoretical model. In particular, experimentally measured target-induced frequency spreading effects on the signal-to-noise ratio correspond to the predictions of the model. We also describe an experimental system.

We consider the problem of estimating the spatial separation between two mutually incoherent point light sources using the super-resolution imaging technique based on spatial mode demultiplexing (SPADE) with noisy detectors. We show that in the presence of noise, the resolution of the measurement is limited by the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and the minimum resolvable spatial separation has a characteristic dependence of [Formula: see text]. Several detection techniques, including direct photon counting, as well as homodyne and heterodyne detection are considered.

Dimming Control

Visible Light Communication (VLC) uses an Intensity-Modulation and Direct-Detection (IM/DD) scheme to transmit data. However, the light source used in VLC systems is continuously switched on and off quickly, resulting in flickering. In addition, recent illumination systems include dimming support to allow users to dim the light sources to the desired level. Therefore, the modulation scheme for data transmission in VLC system must include flicker mitigation and dimming control capabilities. In this paper, the authors propose a Double Inverse Pulse Position Modulation (DIPPM) scheme that minimizes flickering and supports a high level of dimming for the illumination sources in VLC systems. To form DIPPM, some changes are made in the symbol structure of the IPPM scheme, and a detailed explanation and mathematical model of DIPPM are given in this paper. Furthermore, both analytical and simulation results for the error performance of 2-DIPPM are compared with the performance of VPPM. Also, the communication performance of DIPPM is analyzed in terms of the normalized required power.

The Fisher–Snedecor (F-S) F distribution has recently been introduced as a tractable turbulence-induced (TI) fading model that fits well with the experimental data. This paper provides a performance evaluation of a free-space optical (FSO) re-configurable intelligent surface (RIS)-assisted communications (ACs) link over the F-S F TI fading channels, assuming the intensity modulation–direct detection (IM–DD) technique. In particular, novel and closed-form (C-F) analytical expressions for the probability density function (PDF) and cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the end-to-end signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in terms of Gaussian hyper-geometric functions are efficiently derived. Capitalizing on the obtained results, novel C-F analytical expressions for the moment generating function (MMGF), outage probability (OP), average bit error rate (BER) and ergodic channel capacity (Cγ) of the FSO RIS-ACs system over the F-S F TI fading channels are provided and numerically evaluated under the various TI fading severity conditions. Furthermore, the second-order (S-O) statistical expressions for the level crossing rate (LCR) and average fade duration (AFD) are obtained and thoroughly examined for various FSO RIS-ACs system model parameters.

Abstract In this paper, a free-space optical link (FSOL) optimization in the visible light communication (VLC) is performed to improve the channel performance for signal strength and analysze the effect of signal failures in a communication system. The problem of uncertainty in the FSOL components for a better signal has prompted this study to check for an improved and enhance signal using bit error rate (BER) analyzer. The light emitting diode (LED) is used as a carrier for transmission of data as the optimization of system properties have concluded for limitations and working conditions. The noise has been added and removed to ascertain the channel behavior which in turn display an acceptable eye diagram for an improved signal. The acceptable eye diagram shows a better signal in the system. The optimization of FSOL will guarantee multi-mobile users of shared signal which will improve the signal errors, loss of power, weak signal, signal failure, loss of data etc. To fully characterize the FSOL, OptiSystem software tool has been used.

Abstract Advances in infrared detection techniques require novel spectrum dynamic-modification strategies capable of sensing unprecedentedly low target radiant intensities. A conventional fixed-spectrum detection system cannot satisfy the effective detection of stealth aircraft targets due to complex Earth background clutter and atmospheric attenuation. Therefore, a detection method that can highlight aircraft targets is urgently needed to enhance stealth aircraft detectability. In this research, a spectrum set consisting of different bandwidths associated with a central wavelength is established. Furthermore, a signal-to-noise ratio of the stealth aircraft is computed using the established spectrum set. Finally, the optimal spectrum is selected according to the maximal signal-to-noise ratio from the spectrum set. Our numerical experiments and simulations further demonstrate that the proposed methodology can substantially strengthen the detection performance of stealth aircraft compared with traditional fixed-spectrum detection systems. This work on detection spectrum optimization paves the way to stealth aircraft detection and opens new vistas in the field of target detection technology.

Power Requirement

Visible Light Communication (VLC) uses an intensity-modulation and direct-detection (IM/DD) scheme to transmit data. The light source utilized in VLC structures is constantly switched on and off rapidly, resulting in flickering. Furthermore, most of illumination systems exclude dimming support to permit customers to dim the light source to the desired stage. Therefore, the modulation scheme for information transmission in VLC should consist of flicker mitigation and dimming manage abilities. Double inverse pulse position modulation (DIPPM), sub-carrier pulse position modulation (SC-L-PPM), and M-ary variable pulse position modulation (M-VPPM) are recommended for minimizing the flicker issues and supporting an excessive degree of dimming for VLC systems. In this paper, a comparison is introduced between DIPPM, SC-L-PPM, and M-VPPM according to error performance and bit rate. In addition, a simulation is carried out to measure the optical power distribution for a LED lamp in an indoor room topology for each modulation technique. The obtained results indicated that SC-L-PPM is the best choice regarding the bit error rate (BER) and optical power distribution compared to the other two schemes. A 10-6 BER is achieved with a very low power requirement at L=8, while a remarkable power distribution of 1.5 to 6.5 dBm is observed from 3×5×5 m3 room corners to the center, respectively. According to the bit rate, it is noticed that, M-VPPM is the most efficient one compared to the two other schemes. It achieves 2.3×107 bps at signal to noise ratio (SNR) of 22 dB and M=8.
