Free space optics has been envisioned as an crucial technique to meet the high-bandwidth requirements in future wireless information transmission links and a feasible solution to the last-mile bottleneck problem. This research work reports the designing and simulative evaluation of the performance of high-speed orthogonal frequency division multiplexing-based free space optics link by incorporating wavelength division multiplexing of 2 independent frequency channels (193.1 THz and 193.2 THz) along with mode division multiplexing of distinct spatial laser Hermite Gaussian modes (HG01 and HG03). 4 independent 20 Gbps quadrature amplitude modulated data signals are transported simultaneously under different atmospheric weather conditions using the proposed link. Also, the link performance has been investigated for increasing beam divergence angle.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
