“…FSO technology has numerous merits, such as quick and easy installation, high channel bandwidth, immunity to electromagnetic interference, a high-speed network, secure data transmission, and license-free spectrum availability [2][3][4][5]. Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is a subset of multi-carrier modulation techniques using which a high-bit rate signal is transported over several low-speed subcarriers, which are spaced closely in the frequency domain and are orthogonal to each other, thus eliminating the intercarrier interference [6,7]. By incorporating OFDM technology with FSO links, highly reliable long-reach data transmission links can be realized.…”
