Free space optics (FSO) is a novel transmission technique capable of providing high-capacity links with large bandwidth and robustness against electromagnetic waves interference. In this work, we demonstrate the development of a 100 Gbps FSO link which employs the hybridization of polarization division multiplexing technique and coherent detection-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing technique. Further, we have investigated the system performance by varying different parameters like the input power, the size of the receiver antenna, wavelength of laser beam, the angle of beam divergence, and the additional losses. The proposed system has been modeled and analyzed over Optisystem test bed.
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.
