Abstract Over the last decades, free-space optics (FSO) emerged as a prominent way of communication over radio frequency communication and microwave communication. Working of FSO in comparison with optical fiber cable (OFC) network is the same. The only difference between FSO & OFC is the transmission of an optical beam. The optical beam is transmitted through the free space in the case of FSO. Whereas the transmission of optical beam takes place using OFC core, i.e. glass fiber in the case of OFC. Fog, haze, rain, and clouds in the atmosphere directly affect FSO performance and the power of signal propagation. Further added, the wavelength of propagating beam is based on the size of fog particles which leads to atmospheric attenuation. To mitigate the impact of atmospheric attenuation on signals, the proposed study is based on a spectrum slicing (SS) - wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) system with Pre and Post Amplification. The analysis of SS-WDM-Pre and SS-WDM-Post has been done over various values of attenuation. The comparison analysis proves that the SS-WDM-Post is more efficient than both SS-WDM-Pre and traditional SS-WDM in terms of Q-factor.

AbstractThis work is focused to carry out the investigation of wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) approach on free space optical (FSO) transmission systems using Erbium Ytterbium Doped Waveguide Amplifier (EYDWA) integrated as post-or pre-amplifier for extending the reach to 30 Km for the cost-effective implementation of FSO system considering weather conditions. Furthermore, the performance of proposed FSO-wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) system is also evaluated on the effect of varying the FSO range and results are reported in terms of Q factor, BER, and eye diagrams. It has been found that, under clear rain the post-amplification was performed and was able to reach transmission distance over 27 Km, whereas, the FSO distance has been limited at 19.5 Km by using pre-amplification.

Abstract Free Space Optical (FSO) communication has evolved as a feasible technique for wireless implementations which offers higher bandwidth capacities over various wavelengths and refers to the transmission of modulated visible beams through atmosphere in order to communicate. Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) is a technology that multiplexes numerous carrier signals onto single fiber using nonidentical wavelengths and enables the efficiency of bandwidth and expanded data rate. Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) is implemented to improve the quality and performance of free space optical communication in various atmospheric conditions. In this paper, a WDM-based FSO communication system is being implemented that benefits from MIMO which receives multiple copies of the signal at receiver that are independent and analyzed for various streams of data in MIMO i.e. 2 × 2, 4 × 4, 8 × 8. Various factors like BER, Quality Factor are analyzed for the WDM-based FSO communication with MIMO using the OptiSystem for various data streams of MIMO under different atmospheric conditions.

AbstractWavelength division multiplexing-based free space optics (WDM FSO) has emerged as a potential communication network candidate for last-mile access among other applications. FSO has received much attention in the last few years as a complement as well as an alternative to radio frequency-based communication due to spectrum crisis among other reasons. On the other hand, WDM has been considered as one of the next-generation optical access network candidates for bandwidth efficiency and increased data rates. A hybrid network of these two technologies thus has emerged as another research direction. In this article, we present the background, progress and the current state of WDM FSO.

Abstract Free space optics (FSO) is well-competent and premier technology to cater the high speed services in different geographical areas such as hilly areas and inter building network. In this paper, we successfully demonstrated the spectrum sliced wavelength division multiplexed FSO system. In order to make system bandwidth efficient, frequency spacing of 75 GHz is taken among the wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) channels. Carrier spectrum broadening is achieved for spectrum slicing through the nonlinearity called self-phase modulation. Moreover, requirement of multiple laser sources is eliminated. However, in conventional WDM systems, n numbers of lasers are needed to generate n WDM channels. To strengthen the signal in this FSO system, three optical amplifiers are scrutinized such as erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA), semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) and Raman amplifier in terms of Q-factor and bit error rate (BER). Results revealed that EDFA is best amplifier in proposed SS-WDM-FSO system.

AbstractFree space optical (FSO) communication has fascinated a lot of attention for a variety of applications in telecommunication area. It is dream of every researcher and telecommunication society to make it a real alternative solution for the last mile problem, to replace fiber optics. FSO is much favored because of its low maintenance cost and deployment time. Pointing error is one of the main challenges in FSO communication system which affects its performance especially at high data links that leads to significant performance degradation. In this paper, the impact of pointing error for multi-beam Hybrid Wavelength Division Multiplexing (HWDM) FSO system is investigated. Then the effect of link distance and Bit Error Rate (BER) are estimated by accounting the pointing error and atmospheric attenuation. The effect of change of link distance is examined while changing the number of beams between the transmitter and receiver as well. In this attempt, the HWDM system is considered by combining eight Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) channels and four Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) channels. In addition, the influences of BER and receiver sensitivity are analyzed for the proposed system by incorporating Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) at the receiver end. The data rate 2.5 Gbps is considered for both CWDM and DWDM channels for investigation.
