Abstract

We report the designing of a free-space-optics (FSO) transmission system capable of transmitting high rate information by utilising novel mode division multiplexing (MDM) transmission technique. In the work reported, 2-channels transmitting 10 Gbps data, using either non-return-to-zero (NRZ) encoding scheme or return-to-zero (RZ) encoding scheme are modulated by using different Hermite–Gaussian (HG) modal beams of the single laser beam to realize of 20 Gbps transmission system. The system proposed is simulative analysed under the effect of different weather states. Also, we have compared the bit error rate (BER) and Quality factor (Q Factor) performance for RZ and NRZ encoding schemes in the system for varying weather states. The results reported show that NRZ encoding exhibits a superior performance. Also, we have analysed the system performance by taking into consideration atmospheric scintillation effect and the reported results show notable signal degradation in the presence of scintillation.

Keywords: BER; FSO; MDM; Q factor; scintillation; weather
