Abstract
The present research evaluates optical angular momentum’s (OAM) performance in challenging atmospheric conditions and emphasizes its significance in free space optical (FSO) communication systems. It has been demonstrated that implementing the transmitter diversity (TD) technique effectively suppresses inter-channel interference, improving system performance as a whole. The best option among the studied encodings is found to be the combination of non-return-to-zero (NRZ) and carrier suppressed RZ (CSRZ), which performs better in a variety of weather scenarios and covers a wide FSO range from 72 m to 1450 m. Proposed system offered distance enhancement of 81.25 % under clear sky, 16.66 % under light rain, 10.22 % under moderate rain, 3.4 % under heavy rain, 10 % under light haze, 4 % under moderate haze, 4.44 % under heavy haze, 12.5 % under light fog, 4 % under moderate fog, 7.8 % under heavy fog, 5.8 % under light dust, 7.6 % under medium dust and 12.5 % under heavy dust as compared to existing workIn particular, during bad weather, this research offers significant insights into the design and optimisation of high-speed FSO systems.
