For effective communication in a long-reach passive optical network, there is a need for a cost-effective system for the regeneration of a signal. Optical amplifiers are one of the appropriate solutions for this. With keeping this scenario in mind, A highly reliable architecture of a 10 × 10 Gbps WDM system is analyzed using two different optical amplifiers erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) and a Raman amplifier. The performance of two amplifiers, EDFA and Raman, is investigated at different power levels, 4 dB m, 8 dB m, and 10 dB m, over variable lengths of fiber, 50 km, 70 km, 90 km, 120 km, and 150 km. Q-factor, BER, jitter, eye diagrams, and optical spectra are considered as performance metrics for two amplifiers. 10 Gbps data is successfully transmitted over 10 channels having different frequencies ranging between 192.966 THz and 193.86 THz. The downlink transmission of data is done using a wavelength of 1,550 nm. Results show that EDFA is superior to Raman in terms of gain at a lower level of signal power. Whereas Raman is superior to EDFA at higher power in terms of noise. A maximum Q-factor of 30.62 and a minimum BER of 1 × 10 −40 , is achieved by using EDFA at 4 dB m over 50 km.

This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the efficiency of optical systems for visible light communication (VLC) employing high-order modulation schemes such as 256- quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) and 512-QAM. It evaluates and compares four advanced optical waveforms – orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), filter bank multicarrier (FBMC), universal filtered multicarrier (UFMC), and non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) – in terms of bit error rate (BER) and power spectral density (PSD) performance under realistic VLC channel conditions. Simulation results reveal that at a BER of 10−3, optical NOMA achieves up to a 6 decibel (dB) signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) gain over OFDM, while UFMC and FBMC demonstrate gains of approximately 4 dB and 2 dB, respectively, illustrating their robustness to noise and suitability for high data-rate applications. PSD analysis shows that Optical NOMA achieves the most compact spectral distribution with power levels near −350 W/MHz, significantly reducing out-of-band emissions compared to OFDM’s −200 W/MHz. This underscores the superior spectral efficiency and interference mitigation capabilities of these advanced schemes. The findings highlight that adopting FBMC, UFMC, and especially NOMA in VLC systems can dramatically enhance throughput and spectral utilization, making them highly promising for next-generation optical wireless networks that demand high capacity, low interference, and dense deployment scenarios.

Performance evaluation of dispersion compensation techniques in optical fiber networks

8. August 2025

PDF downloaden

In optical fiber communication, signals are transmitted as light pulses over long distances through optical fibers. During transmission, these pulses experience losses primarily due to attenuation and dispersion, which degrade the system’s overall performance and reduce available bandwidth. As modern applications demand higher data rates and broader bandwidth, managing dispersion becomes increasingly important. Dispersion is a key factor that limits transmission efficiency by causing pulse broadening, which in turn shortens the transmission distance and lowers the achievable bit rate. To enhance system performance and support higher bit rates, various dispersion compensation techniques are employed. In this study, we use OptiSystem version 7.0 to model and evaluate the effectiveness of different compensation methods – pre-compensation, post-compensation, and symmetrical compensation. Dispersion compensating fiber (DCF) is used across varying transmission lengths to analyse its impact. Performance metrics such as quality factor (QF), bit error rate (BER), and eye diagrams are assessed at the receiver to determine the effectiveness of each compensation technique.

This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of bit error rate (BER) and power spectrum density (PSD) performance for optical OFDM systems integrated with Visible Light Communication (VLC), employing various signal detection algorithms over Rayleigh fading channels. Simulation studies were conducted for 64, 256, and 512 subcarriers to evaluate BER under different SNR conditions. The proposed LSTM-based detection method achieved remarkable improvements, requiring only 6.1 dB, 8.1 dB, and 10.1 dB SNR, respectively, to attain a BER of 10 −5 , outperforming hybrid, QRM-MLD, MMSE, ZFE, and conventional optical OFDM by SNR gains ranging from 1.9 dB to 10.8 dB. Results also indicate that while increasing the number of subcarriers raises SNR demands, the LSTM detector consistently delivers superior performance, making it highly suitable for high-capacity advanced radio and VLC systems. Furthermore, PSD analysis demonstrates significant side lobe suppression, reducing out-of-band emissions from −100 dB down to −390 dB. This effective spectrum containment is crucial for minimizing spectral leakage in 5G, beyond-5G, and VLC frameworks, thereby enhancing spectrum utilization and overall system capacity. The study underscores the pivotal role of advanced detection methods like LSTM in improving throughput, reducing SNR requirements, and optimizing spectral efficiency for future optical OFDM-VLC communication systems.

A hybrid DE-optimized PTS scheme for PAPR and BER enhancement in optical OTFS waveform for 256-QAM modulation schemes

8. August 2025

Nidhi Gour, Surendra Yadav, Arun Kumar

PDF downloaden

Optical orthogonal time frequency space (O-OTFS) modulation provides resilient performance in doubly dispersive and high-mobility wireless channels by symbol mapping in the delay-Doppler plane. Like conventional multicarrier systems, OTFS has the drawback of high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR), thus degrading power amplifier efficiency as well as causing nonlinear distortions. In this paper, a hybrid reduction scheme of PAPR is introduced by integrating the partial transmit sequence (PTS) method with a differential evolutionary (DE) optimization algorithm. The PTS approach partitions the OTFS time-frequency signal into subblocks and performs phase rotations, while DE minimizes the PAPR by optimizing the phase vector. Simulation results show that for 64, 256, and 512 subcarriers, the DE-PTS approach achieves PAPR reductions of about 4.9 dB, 5.8 dB, and 6.4 dB, respectively, at a CCDF of 10 −3 . Further, BER analysis indicates that DE-PTS achieves a reduced SNR to attain a BER of 10 −3 from 19.2 dB (original OTFS) to 15.1 dB with a gain of 4.1 dB. These findings identify DE-PTS not only reduces PAPR dramatically but also improves BER performance without compromising system fidelity. The proposed methodology is computationally efficient and scalable and hence can be applied to real-time OTFS communication in future high-mobility wireless networks like 6G and vehicular communication.

Dip Sarkar, Bobby Barua

Underwater wireless communication is the use of wireless carriers, such as radio-frequency waves, acoustic waves, and optical waves, to transmit data in an unguided aquatic environment. This study focuses on underwater optical wireless communication (UOWC), leveraging the high bandwidth of optical waves for enhanced data rates. While orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) and space-time block coding (STBC) are well-established in radio frequency (RF) and free-space optical systems, their application in UOWC introduces unique challenges due to underwater attenuation, scattering, and multipath effects. UOWC holds significant potential in military, offshore exploration, environmental monitoring, and disaster response, yet is constrained by severe absorption and scattering in underwater channels. This work examines coding, modulation, and channel characteristics in UOWC systems. It analyzes outage performance in terms of bandwidth, bit error rate (BER), and carrier-to-noise ratio (CNR) to optimize communication links. Power penalties over varying distances are examined, showing increasing degradation with longer transmission ranges. From the analysis it is found that at a short distance of 10 m, power penalties range from approximately 11–16 dB for received optical power levels between 10 −2 and 10 −12 . At 120 m, the power penalty increases to 28–31 dB with corresponding BER values from 10 −2 to 10 −12 . These findings underscore the need for advanced signal processing and adaptive modulation to minimize power loss and enhance UOWC system efficiency in practical scenarios.

Deepika Latka, Mona Aggarwal, Swaran Ahuja

PDF downloaden

This paper presents a detailed performance analysis of a UAV-assisted three-hop mixed radio frequency (RF)/free-space optical (FSO) wireless communication system employing decode-and-forward (DF) relaying. The system comprises a source node communicating with a mobile UAV relay over an RF link subject to generalized Rician fading, followed by an FSO link from the UAV to a ground-based relay experiencing Gamma–Gamma atmospheric turbulence with pointing errors. The final hop from the relay to the destination user is modeled as an RF link undergoing Rayleigh fading, with opportunistic user scheduling to enhance link reliability. Closed-form expressions for the end-to-end outage probability are derived, along with an asymptotic analysis that provides insights into the diversity and coding gains. Furthermore, a location optimization framework is proposed, wherein the UAV’s altitude and corresponding elevation angle are jointly optimized to minimize the asymptotic outage probability. Simulation results corroborate the analytical findings, verified through extensive Monte Carlo trials and reveal the significant impact of fading severity, pointing error, UAV altitude, and scheduling strategy on overall system performance. The proposed model offers valuable design guidelines for next-generation UAV-enabled hybrid RF/FSO communication systems.

With the escalating demand for high-capacity optical communication systems, particularly in the context of 5G networks, there is a critical need for transmission technologies that can support large data volumes over extended distances while minimizing signal attenuation. This study presents the design and performance evaluation of a dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM)-based optical communication system using OptiSystem software. The system was assessed under two scenarios to identify optimal parameters for high-performance data transmission. The primary objective was to improve transmission quality by minimizing dispersion and extending the reach of the optical link. Carrier-suppressed return-to-zero (CSRZ) modulation was identified as an effective format due to its improved spectral efficiency and compatibility with DWDM architectures. To counteract signal degradation caused by scattering, absorption, and losses, erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs) with a gain of 15 dB were implemented. In the first scenario, signal power levels ranging from −15 dBm to 15 dBm and bit rates from 5 Gb/s to 40 Gb/s were simulated over a 100 km single-mode fiber link. System performance was analyzed using Q-factor values and eye diagram analysis across eight DWDM channels. The second scenario extended the transmission distance to 300 km, demonstrating a notable decline in Q-factor with increased fiber length, thereby emphasizing the importance of amplifier placement and modulation strategy in long-haul optical systems.

PDF downloaden

Visible light communication (VLC) is a promising and viable optical wireless communication (OWC) system that utilizes light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to achieve high data rates, energy efficiency, and resistance to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Direct-current biased optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DCO-OFDM) is a widely used scheme in VLC due to its high spectral efficiency. However, it suffers from significant challenges related to its elevated peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR), which causes nonlinear distortion and signal clipping due to LED limitations. To address this issue, this paper proposes a combination of Vandermonde-like matrix (VLM) precoding and nonlinear companding transform (NCT) techniques (specifically A -law and μ -law) over DCO-OFDM-based VLC. The VLM precoding minimizes the autocorrelation of the OFDM signal, hence reducing its PAPR, and NCT compresses the dynamic range of the signal. Simulation results indicated that the hybrid techniques achieved a PAPR reduction of around 3.5 dB (by 76 %); this is in the best case reduction compared to the conventional DCO-OFDM while maintaining an acceptable bit error rate (BER), moderately higher signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is required.

The advent of quantum computing necessitates the integration of post-quantum cryptography (PQC) into high-speed optical networks to safeguard against emerging threats. This study rigorously evaluates NIST-standardized PQC digital signature algorithms – CRYSTALS-Dilithium, FALCON, and SPHINCS+ – in wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) systems, addressing the critical interplay between cryptographic robustness, file size dynamics, and optical network performance. Through comprehensive OptiSystem simulations, we analyze transmission fidelity (BER, Q-factor), power efficiency, and channel spacing impacts across single- and multi-channel WDM architectures. Key findings reveal that compact lattice-based schemes like FALCON-512 achieve high Q-factor at optimum power (−2) dBm for small files (≤45 bits), making them ideal for latency-sensitive applications such as real-time financial transactions. Conversely, large files (>200 bits) demand adaptive power allocation (−12 dBm–−10 dBm) and hybrid error correction (LDPC + FEC) when using SPHINCS + , despite its 41 kB signature overhead. Optimal channel spacing (0.8 nm for metro networks, 1.6 nm for long-haul links) balances spectral efficiency and resilience to distortions. The results underscore the necessity of context-aware cryptographic frameworks: FALCON-512 excels in low-power, high-security metro-scale deployments (50–100 km), while SPHINCS + suits archival data with high throughput tolerance. This work provides actionable insights for designing quantum-safe optical networks, harmonizing PQC standards with the evolving demands of high-capacity, low-latency infrastructure.

Rajeev Ranjan, Pratham Vinayak Sharma

PDF downloaden

With increasing demands for secure high-speed wireless communications, integration of quantum key distribution (QKD) into light fidelity (LiFi) systems is a promising method for boosting data confidentiality in optical wireless networks. The BB84 protocol and Mach–Zehnder modulator (MZM) are utilized with a pump-assisted continuous wave laser at 1,550 nm and polarization control components to encode quantum states onto photons. They are transmitted on free space optical (FSO) links with a length ranging from 2 km to 8 km and received using Avalanche photodiodes (APDs) and optical filters. Performance analysis conducted using bit error rate (BER) and Q-factor analysis. BER maintained at zero across all tested configuration and transmission distance up to 8 km indicating excellent signal integrity and security. A highest Q-factor achieved a maximum of 3,055.9, which ensures signal integrity and low interference noise. The system operates at a simulated data rate of 10 Gbps, suitable for high speed optical wireless communication. Consistently high eye height (∼172,210 units) and stable decision thresholds confirm minimal inter-symbol interference and accurate symbol recognition. And the Poincaré sphere showed even polarization stability for different optical power levels. This work presents a simulation-based implementation of a polarization encoded QKD system over a LiFi-enabled FSO communication channel, aiming to enhance secure optical wireless communication. Calculated based on quantum bit error rate (QBER) and included in the theoretical analysis to demonstrate practical secure throughput.

This paper presents a comprehensive performance analysis of spectrum sensing techniques for Optical Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (Optical OFDM) systems under high-order modulation in Rician and Rayleigh fading channels. Using MATLAB simulations, we evaluate the proposed Hybrid Energy-Cyclostationary Detection with Machine Learning (HECD-ML) algorithm against conventional methods such as Energy Detection (ED), Cyclostationary Detection, Matched Filter (MF), and standard Optical OFDM. Results show that the proposed HECD-ML approach significantly outperforms existing techniques in both detection accuracy and bit error rate (BER). Specifically, the proposed method achieves a probability of detection (Pd) = 1 at −2.5 dB SNR in Rician and −2 dB in Rayleigh channels, offering a detection gain of 2.5–9.5 dB over traditional techniques. Additionally, it achieves a BER of 10 −3 at 6.2 dB (Rician) and 7.2 dB (Rayleigh), demonstrating an SNR gain of 2–8.6 dB. These improvements indicate enhanced sensitivity, faster detection, reduced error rates, and greater spectral efficiency in low-SNR and fading conditions, making the proposed method highly suitable for dynamic visible light communication (VLC) scenarios. However, the increased computational complexity and reliance on simulation-based validation highlight the need for future work focusing on real-world implementation and system optimization under practical constraints.

A new method for addressing the increasing needs for bandwidth is mode division multiplexing (MDM). Its use in spatial modes for free-space optical (FSO) communication has produced encouraging outcomes. In order to increase data capacity, this study examines an MDM-FSO system that makes use of Hermite–Gaussian and Laguerre–Gaussian modes, namely HG[0, 0], HG[0, 1], LG[0, 0], and LG[0, 1]. Polarization multiplexing is also taken into consideration to enhance performance even more. According to simulation results, the HG[0, 1] mode allows for a maximum link range of 380–570 m in a variety of weather scenarios, including light fog, rain, mist, dry snow, and weak turbulence. It is noteworthy that the LG[0, 0] mode outperforms LG[0, 1] and HG[0, 1] at 160 Gbps data speeds. Under the gamma–gamma channel model, the system maintains a maximum spot size of 5–10.7 µm under various environmental circumstances. Additionally, it can accommodate a maximum divergence angle of less than 0.5 mrad in strong turbulence and 3 mrad in weak turbulence. The suggested MDM-FSO design is a viable contender for next-generation optical wireless communication systems because to its improved spectrum efficiency, high-speed data transmission, and increased capacity when compared to current FSO systems.

PDF downloaden

As the demand for optical communication systems that are both high-capacity and spectrally efficient continues to grow, so too does the need for flex-grid DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplex) systems. Coherent modulation schemes offer an excellent means of overcoming the bandwidth constraints of fixed-grid DWDM optical communication systems, while easily achieving acceptable levels of impairment. However, the spacing between the channels can have large effects on overall system performance. The channel spacing is vital to system design, as it must represent a trade-off between spectral efficiency and signal quality. This paper provides a thorough investigation of the performance of flex-grid DWDM optical communication systems based on coherent modulation formats DP-QPSK and 16-QAM at various channel spacings (25 GHz, 37.5 GHz, 50 GHz). An OptiSystem simulation framework provided system level simulation, and signal performance analysis was performed using MATLAB. The system used was multiple channels of 100 Gbps, for transmission over standard single-mode fiber (SMF) spans of 100–1,000 km using EDFAs for amplification. Key performance parameters including Bit Error Rate (BER), OSNR, Q-factor, eye diagrams, and spectral efficiency were recorded and analyzed.

Jointly managed congestion and contention in optical burst switching with proposed proactive framework (Pro-JCCM) for the high-speed transport networks

29. Juli 2025

Amit Kumar Garg

PDF downloaden

Optical burst switching (OBS) shows a lot of promise for the future of the optical internet, still it comes with few challenges, such as contention and congestion, which can lead to a higher burst drop probability (BDP). Existing solutions tend to solve these issues separately and reactively, which limits their effectiveness. This paper introduces a new approach called the proactive framework for joint congestion and contention management (Pro-JCCM). Pro-JCCM focuses on two main components: a network state estimator (NSE) that calculates a combined congestion and contention index (CCI) for network routes, and an adaptive burst scheduling and dropping (ABSD) module that operates at the edge nodes. By proactively monitoring the CCI, the ABSD module makes smart decisions, like adjusting burst offset times or dropping low-priority bursts before they reach the network core. Simulations conducted on the National Science Foundation Network (NSFNET) topology show that the proposed Pro-JCCM outperforms traditional reactive methods, reducing packet drop rates by up to tenfold and increasing network throughput by over 30 % during peak loads, all while ensuring consistent end-to-end delays for improved quality of service (QoS).

In today’s push toward smarter and safer cities, having a reliable system for nighttime surveillance has become increasingly important. To address this, our study presents an advanced monitoring setup that uses multiple cameras positioned in different directions to act as perceptual sensors. These cameras work together to provide better situational awareness and enhance public safety, especially during low-light conditions. At the core of this system is the YOLOv5 model, which we have fine-tuned specifically for real-time object detection in challenging urban environments at night. With over 50 security cameras deployed in a distributed network, there is a need for fast and efficient data transmission. To handle this, we use a high-speed optical communication backbone that ensures smooth, low-latency streaming of video footage to a centralized processing unit. This optical network setup allows the system to respond quickly and process visual data effectively, even when under heavy load. In our experiments, a multi-scale version of the YOLOv5 model (YOLOv5MS) achieved a mean average precision (mAP) of 88.7 %, proving its capability to perform well under real-world conditions. By combining cutting-edge computer vision with high-speed optical transmission, this system demonstrates a major step forward in building intelligent, responsive surveillance solutions for modern cities.

Rajat Paliwal, Piyush Patel, Ahmad Atieh

PDF downloaden

Spectrally efficient 16 QAM system for underwater communication using commercial high-power LEDs is proposed in this letter. The transmitted beam divergence (BD) angle and the effect of 10 different types of waters are investigated to enable reliable communication. The results show that a BD angle of 0.029° is needed to achieve a maximum transmission distance of 6.9 m and 4.9 m when using Osram and Luminus LEDs, respectively. The effect of transmitted data rate on distance for the optimized BD angle show that at data rate of 0.5 Gbps Osram LED supported 6.6 m link distance, which reduced to 3.7 m for the Luminus LED in pure water. The proposed system is evaluated for 10 different types of waters at fixed data rate of 0.5 Gbps while using Luminus LED. The results show that waters with lower attenuation, such as Pure Water (PW), Jerlov I, Jerlov IA, and Clear Ocean (CL), enabled longer transmission distances of 3.7 m, 3.7 m, 3.6 m, and 3.4 m, respectively. Conversely, higher attenuation in Harbor I, Jerlov III, and Harbor II waters achieved shorter distances of 2.1 m, 1.6 m, and 1.5 m, respectively. The % Error Vector Magnitude (% EVM), Symbol Error Rate (SER), and Bit Error Rate (BER) metrics are used to evaluate the proposed system performance.

Proactive congestion-aware burst scheduling (PCABS) technique for contention issues in high-speed transport networks using optical burst switching (OBS)

22. Juli 2025

Amit Kumar Garg

PDF downloaden

Optical burst switching (OBS) is emerging as a promising approach for the next generation of the optical internet, achieving a balance between the coarse granularity of circuit switching and the finer granularity of packet switching. However, one of the major challenges OBS networks face is burst contention at core nodes, which can lead to a high burst drop probability (BDP) and a decline in quality of service (QoS). The traditional ways to resolve contention, like using fiber delay lines (FDLs) and wavelength conversion, often tend to be reactive, costly, and not very effective. This paper introduces a novel, proactive scheme for dealing with contention, known as Proactive Congestion-Aware Burst Scheduling (PCABS). In this approach, core routers keep checks on their local contention levels and regularly share this information with edge routers. The edge routers then use these data to adjust the timing of outgoing bursts, creating a buffer to help prevent potential contention issues. The PCABS algorithm and its analytical model have been presented a thorough performance assessment conducted using OMNeT++. Simulation results on the NSFNET topology demonstrate that PCABS greatly reduces the network-wide BDP and enhances throughput when compared to standard OBS (FDL). This clearly shows that PCABS is an efficient way to resolve contention in the ever-evolving landscape of OBS environments.

This research paper thoroughly studies modeling, simulation, and performance analysis of underwater optical fiber communication systems, with specific emphasis on submarine cable systems, which form the infrastructural backbone of the internet in the modern world. The study comprehensively covers the multilayered nature of deep-sea optical fiber cables and the engineering practices utilized to protect such systems from the dynamic and extreme nature of the seafloor. To simulate the performance of such complex systems, the paper utilizes OptiSystem, a high-end photonic and fiber-optic communication system design simulation software. Simulations are designed to mimic the nature of deployment in deep waters, testing important parameters like Bit Error Rate (BER), optical power loss, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and pulse broadening due to dispersion. The study simulates various scenarios, such as uncompensated and amplified transmission, to mimic real-world degrading and recovery processes. Emphasis is particularly given to signal integrity over distance, i.e., how loss and dispersion are prevented using Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifiers (EDFAs), Raman amplifiers, and Dispersion Compensation Modules (DCMs). Their locations, spacings, and gains are determined for best quality transmission and economic viability. Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) is also investigated as a technique for bandwidth multiplication with little interference and crosstalk.

Arun Kumar, Chandrashekhara K T, P. Radhakrishnan, Aziz Nanthaamornphong

PDF downloaden

This work presents a hybrid signal detection scheme for optical non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) systems using 512-QAM modulation in visible light communication (VLC) networks. As future VLC systems demand ultra-high data rates and superior spectral efficiency, they require high-order modulation like 512-QAM, which is highly susceptible to noise, nonlinearities, and channel distortions, complicating reliable detection. To tackle these challenges, a hybrid detection strategy combining traditional algorithms – such as minimum mean square error (MMSE) and zero-forcing (ZF) – with advanced machine learning techniques like deep neural networks (DNNs) is proposed. This approach harnesses the low complexity and speed of conventional detectors alongside the adaptive learning and nonlinear handling capabilities of DNNs, enabling robust detection under challenging conditions. Simulations conducted under Rayleigh fading in a MIMO-VLC setup using MATLAB 2016 extensively evaluate BER and PSD performance. Results demonstrate that the hybrid model achieves the target BER of 10 −3 with up to a 13 dB SNR improvement over traditional methods. Moreover, it ensures better spectral containment, minimizing interference and enhancing bandwidth utilization. These outcomes highlight the potential of hybrid detection schemes to realize high-capacity, energy-efficient, and reliable VLC systems, making them suitable for smart indoor environments such as wireless data hubs, augmented reality, and smart lighting in hospitals and intelligent buildings.

PDF downloaden

To increase scalability and energy economy in Optical Wireless Sensor Networks (OWSNs), LEACH (Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy) and its variants have been exhaustively investigated. Random LEACH selects cluster heads (CHs) probabilistically to maximize energy consumption; LEACH-C builds on this by selecting CHs dependent on residual energy, so greatly extending network lifetime. By means of further combination of dynamic clustering and load balancing, the proposed modified LEACH-C algorithm guarantees constant cluster sizes and efficient energy distribution. Based on simulation results, strong solutions for OWSNs: modified LEACH-C beats random LEACH-C in obtaining longer network lifetime (1,353 rounds) and higher communication efficiency. Computational complexity, communication overhead, load balancing difficulties, and scalability constraints are the challenges that need to be addressed. Node configurations and large-scale projects drawing attention to these challenges. If performance we want to increase performance and address these challenges, future directions demand the integration of hybrid energy models, adaptive reclustering systems, and machine learning for dynamic CH selection. Moreover quite essential for guaranteeing the resilience and adaptability of Modified LEACH-C in various WSN environments are security enhancements and practical testing.

For next-generation passive optical networks (NG-PON), this study investigates the technological and financial viability of centralized laser source designs, commonly known as optical distribution networks (ODNs). Conventional ODNs are expensive because they use separate lasers at each optical line terminal (OLT). This study suggests a centralized laser source architecture in which several OLTs are fed by a single high-power laser via passive optical splitters. A centralized laser source with a minimum output power of 10 mW can meet the required network performance, with quality factors exceeding six and low bit error rates, according to simulations done for a 6-OLT deployment in Chandigarh, India. Centralized laser ODNs are an appealing option for large-scale deployments, as cost analysis shows initial savings of roughly 63 % when compared to traditional configurations. The proposed system also demonstrates dependability, scalability, and compatibility with emerging technologies, making it ideal for future network expansions.

8. Juli 2025

Amit Kumar Garg

PDF downloaden

One networking technology driving the creation of 5G networks is optical burst switching (OBS). High bandwidth low latency flexible resource allocation and cost effectiveness are just a few of its benefits. However, OBS does have some disadvantages. It requires precise network component synchronization and is susceptible to packet loss due to burst contention. This research approach uses a hybrid intelligent method that combines optimization and predictive functions to present a burst assembly strategy for OBS that is customized for 5G optical networks. This strategy seeks to reduce latency and improve overall network performance by dynamically generating bursts based on the networks current state. The best burst assembly parameters are found using an improved optimization technique and adaptive decision-making is supported by a forecasting learning model that predicts future network conditions. In comparison to previous solutions, the computational results show that this novel mechanism has significantly improved throughput and decreased average latency which ultimately lowers the likelihood of blocking in 5G network scenarios.

The integration of intelligent transportation systems (ITS) has become a common approach for reducing traffic congestion and enhancing the safety of roadways and underground tunnels. Visible light communication (VLC) has emerged as a promising alternative for vehicular environments, offering unlicensed optical spectrum, high data rates, and immunity to radio frequency (RF) interference. This study examines the performance of an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)-based VLC system employing Bose–Chaudhuri–Hocquenghem (BCH) coding for error correction, aiming to explore the physical layer characteristics of VLC systems in a vehicular tunnel environment. By utilizing MATLAB as a simulation tool, the channel model was analyzed by incorporating the line of sight (LOS) and non-line of sight (NLOS) propagation models, dynamic speed, and various data rates. At a vehicle speed of around 50 km/h, the simulated scenario was capable of attaining a bit error rate (BER) of 3.5 × 10 −5 when the data rate was 1.5 Mbps. However, for a data rate of 2.4 Mbps, the BER value was 0.18 %, with a significant increment when exhibiting high speed due to the instant change in the channel conditions. The results offer valuable insights into the feasibility of VLC in underground tunnels and highlight the critical trade-offs between data rate, mobility, and link reliability in dynamic vehicular environments.

PDF downloaden

This study presents a novel evaluation framework for optimizing free-space optical (FSO) communication systems by integrating multilevel modulation with orbital angular momentum (OAM)-based data stream multiplexing to maximize spectral efficiency (SE). The proposed architecture synergizes pulse-position modulation (PPM) and dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM), while mitigating impairments from optical nonlinearities and atmospheric turbulence. Key innovations include the fusion of N -encoded adaptive spatial modulation (SM) with L -ary spatial PPM (SPPM) and a diversity strategy employing mixed multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), multiple-input single-output in an M :1 ratio, and single-input single-output (SISO) configurations. Incorporating SM into FSO systems substantially reduces bit error rate by counteracting turbulence-induced signal degradation. The performance of SPPM, MIMO, and hybrid MIMO-SPPM/MPPM schemes is rigorously analyzed across RF, FSO, and hybrid RF/FSO channels under weak turbulence and dynamic atmospheric conditions. Simulations demonstrate that the hybrid MIMO/OAM-SPPM/MPPM model achieves an average symbol error probability of 10 −10  at 20 dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) – outperforming conventional approaches by orders of magnitude. Optimal SE is attained via hybrid modulation over hybrid RF/FSO links, with 4 × 4 MIMO-RF/DWDM-FSO configurations achieving 49 bits/s/Hz at 25 dB SNR and 55 bits/s/Hz at 17 dB SNR – surpassing SISO RF (16 bits/s/Hz) and FSO (21 bits/s/Hz) benchmarks.

PDF downloaden

The paper offers a design of an optical non-orthogonal multiple access (O-NOMA) system with Rayleigh fading channels by analysing the bit error rate (BER) and power spectral density (PSD) using machine learning (ML)-based and traditional signal detection methods. The primary focus is on various QAM modulation orders, such as 32-QAM, 64-QAM, 256-QAM, and 512-QAM. The research compares the performance of different detectors including deep neural networks (DNN), convolutional neural networks (CNN), recurrent neural networks (RNN), and conventional techniques. Among these, the DNN always yields better BER performance up to 10 −5 BER at SNR values 12 dB lower than conventional techniques. For 32-QAM, in particular, the DNN provides a gain of 10.3 dB compared to conventional techniques, while similar gains are realized for higher QAM orders. PSD analysis also shows that the DNN is compact in terms of its spectral footprint, achieving out-of-band emissions as low as −690 dB, essential for reducing interference and maximizing spectral efficiency. Such results highlight the promise of using ML-based detection – particularly DNN – as an efficient and effective method for future, high-capacity optical NOMA systems functioning over a wide range of modulation schemes.

This research introduces an enhanced transmission framework for hybrid multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) and dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) radio frequency/free-space optical (RF/FSO) communication systems, utilizing diversity coding techniques to combat turbulence-induced signal degradation. The proposed system achieves an aggregate data rate of 20 gigabits per second (Gbps) through eight channels operating at 2.5 Gbps each over a 1,500-meter (m) link, with comprehensive performance evaluation of bit error rate (BER), outage probability (OP), and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) across three primary diversity combining methods: maximum ratio combining (MRC), selection combining (SC), and equal-gain combining (EGC). Analysis confirms the superior performance of Alamouti coding (AC), space-time coding (STC), space-time block coding (STBC), space-time trellis coding (STTC), orthogonal STBC (O-STBC), and quasi-orthogonal STBC (QO-STBC) in hybrid DWDM-MIMO-RF/FSO networks, particularly in reducing mean-square error while improving turbulence resilience. Simulation results demonstrate that QO-STBC and STTC implementations combined with MRC or SC significantly enhance BER, SNR, and outage characteristics in MIMO-DWDM FSO systems, with MRC showing better performance than both SC and EGC in minimizing BER and OP. Furthermore, numerical analysis reveals that DWDM-augmented QO-STBC/STTC in RF/FSO links reduces power penalties across BER thresholds under diverse turbulence conditions (weak, moderate, and strong), surpassing non-DWDM FSO configurations.

Mohit Kumar Srivastava

PDF downloaden

Hilly areas with winding and curved roads pose significant challenges for vehicle navigation, particularly in situations where visibility is limited. The problem becomes more pronounced at night or during adverse weather conditions. To address this issue, we propose an innovative solution using visible light communication (VLC) for collision avoidance. VLC technology can provide real-time communication between vehicles and infrastructure such as traffic lights, road signs, and roadside beacons, which improves situational awareness and enhances road safety. This paper discusses the design, implementation, and evaluation of a VLC-based collision avoidance system for vehicles navigating curved roads in hilly terrains. With a transmission power of 0.5 W, the system achieves an acceptable BER of less than 10 −9 up to 32 m, ensuring reliable short-range collision avoidance. Increasing the transmission power to 1 W extends the communication range to 38 m, maintaining the same BER. We demonstrate how VLC can effectively mitigate the risks of accidents due to limited visibility, providing a safer driving experience for motorists in challenging environments.

Ground-based Free-Space Optical (FSO) communication networks are gaining prominence due to their high data rates, bandwidth efficiency (BE), cost-effectiveness, and security. However, their performance is hindered by atmospheric turbulence, weather conditions, and pointing errors. This work proposes a hybrid Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) Radio Frequency (RF)/FSO system with adaptive modulation to address these challenges. We analyze M-ary Pulse Position Modulation (MPPM) over Gamma–Gamma fading channels under varying turbulence levels and pointing errors, employing equal gain combining diversity to improve robustness. Closed-form expressions for the average bit error rate and outage probability are derived using the Meijer G-function. Furthermore, a novel hybrid MPPM/M-Quadrature Amplitude Modulation scheme is introduced to enhance BE and link reliability. The proposed system is compared with conventional methods, demonstrating superior performance via Monte Carlo simulations. Additionally, a MIMO hybrid RF/FSO system using transmit aperture selection and maximal ratio combining is analyzed to mitigate fading effects. Derived expressions for the average symbol error probability validate the gains of the hybrid modulation approach. The adaptive transmission modulation scheme significantly improves BE over nonadaptive techniques, leveraging the complementary strengths of RF and FSO channels.

This study investigates the influence of key process parameters – abrasive flow rate, traverse speed, material properties, and milling depth – on reducing machining time using abrasive waterjet machining (AWJM). A modified abrasive feed system was developed to explore the effects of mass flow rate changes on traverse speed and machining efficiency, revealing traverse speed as a critical factor in Controlled Depth Milling (CDM). Materials such as brass, AL 2024, AL 6061, AISI 304, titanium, and tool steel were tested, with findings showing that increased traverse speed reduces surface waviness. A novel “Machinability Index” was proposed to assess how material type affects milling time, with low-machinability materials requiring slower speeds. Surface roughness was predicted using a model based on solid particle erosion and jet penetration, which aligned well with experimental results. The study also examined abrasive waterjet trepanning for aerospace materials, analyzing parameters like pressure and traverse speed using a full factorial design. Empirical models were developed to understand their effects on kerf width, surface texture, and hole roundness. The research highlights the potential of integrating optical communication systems for real-time process monitoring and automation, enhancing precision and efficiency in advanced manufacturing environments.

PDF downloaden

To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first to build a secure free space optical communication system with a high bit rate of 80 Gb/s wavelength division multiplexing using a Hill coding cipher. The signal message was encrypted by applying an algorithm secure coding. According to the obtained results, in the event of favorable weather (fog), the link distance was about 4.4 km. The link distance was degraded in the bad weather (dust) to become 1.4. Furthermore, the suggested system has a communication merit (bitrate product repeater distance) of roughly 352 Gb/s km in fog conditions and 112 Gb/s km in dust conditions. This is regarded as the highest communication merit when compared to prior attempts and investigations. The effectiveness of the proposed encryption cipher has also been evaluated by a revision of various security studies, key space, correlations, histogram analyses, and results comparison with other alternative approaches. When compared to earlier studies and researches, this is thought to have the best communication merit. In addition, According to the outcomes, integrating cryptographic encryption and decryption methods into FSO systems maintained data security and offered resistance to eavesdropping assaults.

PDF downloaden

The concept of orbital angular momentum (OAM), often known as “twisted light,” has attracted a lot of attention in recent years due to its potential utilization in fiber-based and free-space (fiberless) optical communication systems. Despite the lack of research on Red/Green/Blue laser diodes (RGB LDs) combined with OAM, this new strategy has tremendous potential for improving visible light communication (VLC). This study introduces a 9 × 10 Gbps VLC system that combines RGB LDs with OAM beams using orthogonal modulation. Laguerre–Gaussian (LG) modes LG 0 , 0 , LG 14 , 0 , and LG 40 , 0 are the three OAM beams that are used in the proposed arrangement. Differential phase shift keying (DPSK) is employed to perform multicast data transfer at the rate of 20 Gbps. This study compares the Log BER performance of unicast polarization shift keying (PolSK), multicast DPSK, and unicast nonreturn-to-zero (NRZ) schemes across different VLC transmission ranges. Results revealed that the combination of LG 0 , 0 and RED-LDs offered enhanced bit error rates (BER) as compared to higher order OAM beams. The proposed system can successfully covered ≥1.3 m VLC link within the acceptable BER limits (≯10 −9 ).

An essential part of communication networks are data representations, this has an impact on transmission distance, maximum bit rate, system capacity, and various linear and nonlinear. In order to eliminate effects, the proposed approach provides long-distance optical transmission at high rates with using 12.5 GHz unequal channel spacing. Polarization Division Multiplexing (PDM) is also demonstrated as a technique to enhance Spectral Efficiency. Opti System (2017) Version 15 is used to simulate this work. A 100 Gbps data rate over a 1,000 km transmission distance is being investigated, and two data formats, Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (16-QAM) and Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK), are being compared; these representations are realized using (4 and 8) Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) channels. The QPSK format achieves the best −3.67 Bit Error Rate (BER) at the receiver over that distance while using one Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) at −1 dBm optimal power and maximum OSNR value at utilizing 16-QAM is 24.42 dB. In addition, we investigate how an advanced fiber system with a high effective area and ultra-low loss impacts the performance of 16-QAM, considering into consideration both linear and nonlinear effects, the result achieved 25.81 dB at −2 dBm optimal launched power. Approximately 20 % of the combined Forward Error Correction (FEC) threshold is equal to the 0.033 BER baseline level.

This paper explores space division multiplexing as a next-generation solution for optical fiber communication systems. The purpose of this paper is to investigate how well machine learning algorithms predict the performance of SDM systems. Using simulations of SDM systems, the study evaluates classifiers such as multilayer perceptron, random forest classifier, logistic regression, naive Bayes, decision tree, and k-nearest neighbors. The performance of the classifiers is measured in terms of accuracy, cross-validation scores, and ROC (area under the curve) (AUC). The findings from dataset 1 show that MLP and KNN reach the maximum accuracy of 93. Though logistic regression has the best cross-validation score of 87, MLP is still chosen due to its superior ROC score of 99. In dataset 2, MLP achieves the maximum accuracy of 84. MLP is favoured because of its higher cross-validation score of 79 obtained using logistic regression, compared to its superior ROC score of 92. Although logistic regression exhibits good cross-validation performance, the study prefers MLP because of its superior accuracy and remarkable ROC-AUC scores in both datasets, indicating its robust classification abilities across a wide range of data distributions.

PDF downloaden

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), is one of the most commonly used multi-carrier modulation strategy in visible light communication (VLC) systems. The integration of OFDM enhances the immunity against ISI and supports high-speed data to a significant number of users. However, the summation of identical phase symbols during the IFFT process shoots the peak power leading to a high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) issue in an OFDM-based optical system (O-OFDM). High PAPR has been a considerable matter of concern over the past decade as it negatively impacts the bit error rate (BER) of the system. The work intends to implement the feed-forward artificial neural network (ANN) in an asymmetrically clipped direct current biased optical OFDM (ADO-OFDM) system in order to mitigate the PAPR while preserving the BER performance of the system. The application of a feed-forward network optimizes parameters in real time to minimize PAPR levels and maintain optimal signal quality in an ADO-OFDM system. The feed-forward ADO-OFDM shows a PAPR of 10 dB for a reference CCDF of 10 −3 achieving a reduction of 2 dB compared to the typical ADO-OFDM system.

Mountadher Essa, Adnan Sabbar

PDF downloaden

In visible light communication (VLC) systems, optical diversity improves system performance by utilizing multiple light sources at the transmitter. At the same time, orthogonal data transmission is used to distinguish overlapping optical signals at the photodetector. Based on these concepts, this paper suggests an innovative method to alleviate optical channel blockage by leveraging optical diversity and the orthogonality property; this is achieved by combining a modified version of frequency switching transmit diversity (FSTD) on the transmitter side with select best combining (SBC) on the receiver side in multiple input single output (MISO)-VLC systems. On this basis, the effectiveness of the suggested method is evaluated in free space optical across varying distances and different signal to noise ratio (SNR). The results indicate that the proposed approach outperforms conventional orthogonal techniques in MISO-VLC systems. Specifically, the proposed methodology achieved a bit error rate (BER) of 6.7 × 10 −4 at a distance of 40 m with an SNR of 5 dB, whereas the FSTD technique recorded a BER of 1.5 × 10 −3 under identical conditions. This superiority is attributed to integrating the SBC technique into the proposed approach, which allows for avoiding paths that lead to destructive interference with the optical signal.

Free space optical communication (FSOC) is an emerging technology that allows data transmission at higher speeds via modulated photonic beams. FSOC provides numerous advantages, including huge bandwidth, low costs, low latency, quick deployment, and unlicensed spectrum. FSOC systems are emerging as a viable alternative to traditional communication methods. This paper presents a performance evaluation of the FSOC system in five different geographical regions of Tamil Nadu, namely Madurai, Kodaikanal, Kanyakumari, Coimbatore, and Nagapattinam. We selected these areas due to their varied environmental conditions, which include interior plains, coastal areas, hill stations, and river deltas. We analyzed the impact of environmental conditions, including rainfall rates and atmospheric turbulence, on key performance metrics, including received power, BER (bit error rate), and Q-Factor (quality factor). We also compared three configurations, pre, post, and inline amplification, with varying intensities of rainfall and turbulence. The findings show that when there is heavy rainfall and low turbulence, the Q-factor for the preamplification setup at the 1.5 km range in Coimbatore is 5.03, but under normal rain conditions, it is 3.63 at the 3.5 km range. As such, our study indicates that the preconfiguration may be adopted across various climatic conditions for the above geographical regions.

Using the ABCD matrix framework, we estimate the coupling optics (CO) between a laser diode (LD) and a tapered cylindrical lensed circular core triangular index fiber (TIF). It is essential to note that the coupling optics provide nice performance in the vertical plane, whereas the horizontal plane exhibits inferior results. Taking care of the performance in the vertical plane only, we theoretically predict and assess the coupling efficiency (CE) using ABCD matrix formalism. We provide analytical formulae for coupling efficiencies. The said studies have been carried out for two frequently utilized wavelengths, namely 1.3 and 1.5 µm. In terms of coupling efficiency, the wavelength of 1.5 µm has been identified to be more effective. Our theory addresses the narrow aperture that the cylindrical microlens (CML) provides. The findings indicate the possibility of ensuring improved optical signal transmission by optimizing lens radius and distance of the laser source from the coupler. It will be highly beneficial to the designers and packagers dealing with this kind of coupler.

Utilizing a line-of-sight link, free space optics (FSO) is a technology that employs a beam of light for the purpose of establishing an optical connection between two distant points, enabling the exchange of information. FSO communication through clear atmosphere suffers from challenges arising due to variations in refractive index of the air caused by random fluctuations in the atmospheric temperature. This results in a reduction of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the received signal, subsequently impacting the overall performance of the link. The present study evaluates the outage probability, average capacity, and bit error rate (BER) performance of FSO communication system under turbulent environment utilizing binary phase shift keying (BPSK) as modulation technique. To evaluate the system’s error performance across varying turbulence levels, the probability density function (PDF) of the received irradiance, post-traversing the atmosphere has been represented through the Gamma–Gamma (G–G) model. Simulation results show that the BER improves from 10 −2 to 10 −4 with the increase in SNR from 5 dB to 20 dB under moderate turbulence conditions. Higher channel capacity up to 6.8 bits/s/Hz has been achieved, along with significant reduction in outage probability with an increased in the SNR values.

The performance of a VLC system depends heavily on various parameters, such as link distance, transmitter and irradiance half-angles, detection surface area, optical concentration factor, and incidence angle. However, predicting the system’s performance in real-world conditions based on combinations of these parameters is challenging. To address this, this paper proposes a machine learning-based prediction model that assesses the feasibility of VLC system configurations using known parameter values. A synthetic dataset was generated through the optical simulation software Optisystem, and multiple machine learning algorithms were trained on this data. The classifiers, including multilayer perceptron (MLP), random forest classifier (RFC), logistic regression (LR), naïve Bayes (NB), decision tree (DTR), and K-nearest neighbors (K-NN), were compared for this task. Results show that both MLP and RFC (with 50 estimators) achieved the highest accuracy of 95 %. However, MLP is preferred due to its superior cross-validation score of 84 and an ROC AUC of 98, making it the most effective model for predicting VLC system performance.

Data center requirements for entertaining many users in a minimum amount of time with maximum speed are expensive and power-hungry. To overcome this problem, we present a fast, scalable, all-photonic 3-stage interferometric-loop-based interconnecting switch for data centers. A short response time of 1.33 ns is achieved by utilizing semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA)-based non-linearities, which is superlative to previously reported techniques. The high values of (Optical signal-to-noise ratio) OSNR of 20.93 dB, extinction ratio (ER) of 19.9 dB, and Q-factor of 24.5 show excellent working of implemented configuration. The structure is also evaluated for an optimized bias current of 0.15 A to achieve improved error-rate of 10 −17 . To check the stage-wise power consumption, continuous monitoring and evaluation of power per stage is done. The measurement shows performance enhancement when the high input power imposes its effect on it. The parametric comparison is performed using received power, Q-factor, and ER for 2 × 2, 4 × 4, and 8 × 8 switching interconnects. The consistency in extinction ratio shows that configuration can handle high powers and also maintain good quality of service simultaneously. The design ensures high switching accuracy and signal quality through SOA-based amplification, non-blocking architecture, and integrated 3R-regeneration for longer, high-speed transmissions. The parameter reliability with progressing stage proves that proposed structure is a good solution to scalability and latency challenges for data centers.

Mountadher Essa, Adnan Sabbar

PDF downloaden

Spatial diversity in Visible Light Communication (VLC) systems serves as a robust technique for enhancing system performance by utilizing multiple light sources at the transmitter. Meanwhile, the concept of transmitting data orthogonally is employed to facilitate the separation of overlapping optical signals at the photodetector. Therefore, this paper presents a modification for the Frequency Switching Transmit Diversity (FSTD) technique to achieve a higher diversity order while preserving its orthogonality property. As a result of the increased diversity order, Maximal Ratio Combining (MRC) technology is suggested at the receiver to effectively combine received signals; this technique maximizes constructive interference while minimizing the impact of signals degraded by attenuation and obstructions. Additionally, MRC mitigates the effects of unwanted radiation, such as sunlight and ambient light. On this basis, the results demonstrate that the proposed approach achieved a Bit Error Rate (BER) of 3.4×10 −5 at a transmission distance of 40 m with a Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) of 5 dB. In comparison, the conventional FSTD technique recorded a BER of 1×10 −3 under the same conditions. These findings highlight the superiority of the proposed approach in enhancing the efficiency and reliability of VLC systems, effectively mitigating the impact of optical channel blockages.

Ramanamma Parepalli, Sanjeev Sharma, Mohan Kumar Naik

PDF downloaden

One common connectivity technology in large-scale tiled chip multiprocessors (TCMPs) is network-on-chip (NoC). There are two main types of NoC routers namely buffered and bufferless. Because of its hardware efficiency, lower energy usage, and simplified design, the latter presents a possible option. This paper suggests a new bufferless NoC router design for a 2D 4 × 4 mesh NoC architecture. Each of the four nearby peers (North, South, East, and West) and one processing element are linked to the routers that make up the suggested mesh network. The crossbar switch, input buffers, and output buffers are removed from the suggested router architecture. The combination of bufferless architecture, XY routing and dynamic prioritization establishes bufferless NoC as a robust and scalable solution for modern computing demands. Dynamic prioritization is a key feature in the proposed NoC architecture, which focuses on ensuring that data packets are processed efficiently and fairly, especially in scenarios with high traffic loads. Optical NoCs are based on optical interconnects and optical routers, and have significant bandwidth and power advantages. Our results indicate that the proposed bufferless router can lead to significant area (30.3 %) reduction over the standard BLESS. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed architecture in terms of throughput, latency, and energy efficiency.

PDF downloaden

Optical non-orthogonal multiple access (Optical-NOMA) is an advanced technique of optical wireless communications that increases spectral efficiency by enabling several users to share the same frequency and power resources through power-domain multiplexing. Spectrum sensing is important in cognitive radio networks, especially in fading channels. This paper analyzes the detection capability of energy detection (ED), matched filter (MF), compressive sensing (CS), and a new hybrid scheme involving ED and MF (ED + MF). The new approach enhances detection capability with an increased probability of detection (Pd) at lower signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs). In Rayleigh fading, the hybrid scheme achieves Pd = 1 at −1 dB, better than MF (0.5 dB) and ED (2 dB), with gains of 1 dB and 3 dB, respectively. Likewise, in Rician fading, Pd = 1 is achieved at −1 dB, better than MF (0.7 dB), ED (1 dB), and CS (2 dB), with gains of 2 dB and 3 dB over CS and ED. The analysis validates enhanced detection by decreasing false alarm probability (Pfa) without compromising precision. Further, bit error rate (BER) versus SNR analysis provides a gain of 1.3 dB–4.8 dB in Rayleigh fading and 1.2 dB–5.5 dB in Rician fading. The hybrid scheme improves optical-NOMA performance with reduced BER and increased spectral efficiency in fading channels.

Optical access network security concerns are increasingly urgent as the demands of important network functions have been significantly increased. This study evaluates gigabit passive optical networks (GPON) security and provides an innovative, resilient solution. In accordance with the International Telecommunication Union-Telecommunication (ITU-T) G.984.6 standard series, the approach allows for safe mutual authentication and establishment of keys between optical line termination (OLT) units and optical network units (ONUs) in an optical distribution network (ODN).

Optical multiple‐input multiple‐output (HMIMO) systems leverage reconfigurable holographic surfaces (RHS) to dynamically shape electromagnetic wavefronts, offering superior beamforming and spectrum utilization for next‐generation 6G networks for 256-QAM. By integrating these surfaces into traditional MIMO architectures, HMIMO systems effectively handle high data rates, low latency, and enhanced energy efficiency – even in millimeter‐wave and terahertz bands. Through MATLAB simulations under Rayleigh and Rician fading models, this research demonstrates that HMIMO systems substantially outperform conventional optical MIMO. In Rayleigh environments, where multipath scattering dominates, Optical HMIMO’s adaptable beamforming mitigates rapid signal fluctuations. Under Rician fading, the strong line‐of‐sight component further boosts beamforming gains and spectral efficiency. The study highlights significant improvements in reliability (outage probability), beamforming gain, and spectral efficiency across diverse antenna configurations and SNR levels, underscoring the scalability and robustness of optical-HMIMO for urban and high‐mobility 6G scenarios.

24. April 2025

Arun Kumar, P. Radhakrishnan, Ch. Raja, Aziz Nanthaamornphong

PDF downloaden

Optical non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is a critical communication technology that allows multiple users to access the same frequency spectrum at the same time, greatly improving spectral efficiency. This paper explores neural network-based encryption methods to protect NOMA systems with high throughput. In particular, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and recurrent neural networks (RNNs) are used to study and improve encryption mechanisms. CNNs learn spatial features of the data, whereas RNNs are good at modeling temporal dependencies. Simulation outcomes show that RNN-based encryption provides better performance in dynamic scenarios with increased security against eavesdropping and lower bit error rate (BER). Under a Rayleigh fading channel, RNN encryption lowers the BER at SNR to 6.1 dB, which is better than CNN (8.1 dB), MIMO-NOMA (10.2 dB), OFDM (13 dB), and OTFS (15 dB). In the same way, in Rician channel conditions, RNN attains 5 dB BER, outperforming CNN (7.1 dB), MIMO-NOMA (9.1 dB), OFDM (12.1 dB), and OTFS (10.1 dB). RNN also enhances power spectral density (PSD), reducing it to −810 dB from −700 dB of CNN, −590 dB of MIMO-NOMA, and −400 dB and −510 dB of OFDM and OTFS, respectively. These advancements emphasize the compromises between complexity, throughput, and present a promising avenue for optical NOMA systems using deep learning-based methods.

PDF downloaden

Ultra-high-speed data transmission can be achieved through a combination of multiplexing techniques such as wavelength and polarization division multiplexing (WPDM). However, these systems are facing the two utmost constraints i.e. high cost and inter-channel interference (ISI). For the economical operations, optical comb generation (OCG) emerged as a promising technique for meeting the ever-increasing data demands in modern optical communication systems. On the other hand, an ISI can be suppressed using diverse pulse shapes in optical line terminal (OLT) for each transmitter referred as transmitter diversity (TR D ). In this work, a reach enhanced and cost effective free space optical system (FSO) is presented by incorporating WPDM and TR D supporting 900 Gbps under different weather turbulences such as clear atmosphere (CA), rain and haze. The capacity is tripled by using three diverse angles of polarization (TDAP) such as horizontal, vertical and 45° tilted (45°T). Results revealed that the horizontal TDAP performed best and the proposed system can successfully covered 10 km under CA, 2.5 km under rain and 3.7 km under the effects of rain.

Haidar Zaeer Dhaam, Faris Mohammed Ali

PDF downloaden

Innovation of new light emitting diodes (LEDs) distribution for indoor visible light communication (VLC) systems is necessary to mitigate challenges like signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) uniformity. In addition, creating proper lighting in indoor environments is essential for occupants’ comfort and energy efficiency, where uniform illuminance is needed. This article proposes optimum LEDs distribution to find higher illuminance uniformity based on various semi-angles of light half power and analyzes the best SNR uniformity. The higher SNR uniformity improves user experience by ensuring consistent data transmission quality throughout the room and maintaining a lower bit error rate (BER). The proposed VLC model comprises 16 illuminance units with 30 × 30 LED chips placed in the ceiling of a standard room (5 × 5 × 3 m 3 ). Considering the reflections, the receiver’s delay spread is relatively high due to this higher number of transmitters. This VLC model is examined using a flexible advanced modulation based on multiple subcarriers in different scenarios to mitigate delay spread issues. Optical generalized frequency division multiplexing (OGFDM) modulation is utilized due to its high spectral efficiency and inter-symbol interference reduction. Employing the same power as the standard VLC model with 4 LED transmitters reveals a notable improvement in illuminance and SNR uniformities, power received, and illuminance and SNR values fulfilled by the proposed model.

Supriya S. Sindhu, Joseph Zacharias

PDF downloaden

Dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) is used in optical fiber communication systems to increase the capacity. However, increasing power and decreasing channel spacing in DWDM system leads to non-linear effects like four wave mixing (FWM). In this paper, offset quadrature phase shift keying (OQPSK) modulation is done with the help of lithium niobate (LiNb) Mach–Zehnder modulators (MZM) to suppress the FWM. Here, a radio frequency (RF) carrier sine wave is used to improve the system performance. The OQPSK modulation is done here using two different configurations namely serial and parallel. Comparative analysis shows better system performance with FWM suppression for the serial OQPSK configuration than the parallel configuration. The efficacy of Serial OQPSK system is also confirmed by comparing it to other advanced modulation techniques such as 16-quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) and polarization-multiplexed (PM)-QPSK.

This paper examined the impact of chirped fiber Bragg gratings (CFBGs) on the 16 × 20 Gbps DWDM system’s performance. An approach to compensate dispersion in a 16 × 20 Gbps DWDM system over a 100 km conventional fiber is employed that comprises cascaded chirped fiber Bragg gratings. To get the highest Q factor for every channel, the gratings are optimized in terms of apodization strength, chirp parameter, and grating length. By changing the input power per channel from 0 dBm to +12 dBm, the impact of the nonlinear FWM effect in our suggested system is examined. For all channels, an average Q factor of 15.11 was achieved at an input power of +10 dBm. Even at high input power (+12 dBm) for all 16 channels, the average Q factor is above the predetermined threshold of 6, demonstrating the effectiveness of the configuration for simultaneous dispersion compensation and high tolerance to nonlinear effect.

Meenu, Udai Shanker

PDF downloaden

This paper addresses the issue of conflict resolution in nested transactions within distributed databases of optical data centers, where efficient data processing and management are crucial. We propose a novel approach using conflict resolution in nested transactions via ConvLTSM (Convolutional long short-term memory) along with the Crow Search algorithm (CSA) for optimizing database performance. A key component of our approach is the integration of fiber delay lines (FDLs), which play a critical role in enhancing system efficiency by minimizing overall delays and ensuring optimal resource utilization. The use of FDLs helps in controlling the timing of data transmission, ensuring that transactions are processed in a timely manner, and reducing bottlenecks within the system. The incorporation of FDLs along with load balancing techniques significantly improves the throughput of nested transactions, reduces latency, and ensures consistency across the distributed system. By optimizing the timing and distribution of transaction data, FDLs facilitate better resource management, leading to more efficient and reliable database operations. Our experimental results, with a load of 0.6 and a buffering of 10, show that the transaction loss probability is 7.27 × 10 −5 and the average delay is 1.54 slots. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach in mitigating conflicts, improving data integrity, and optimizing the performance of optical data centers.

PDF downloaden

The coupling reliability of laser-to-fiber coupling has become a significant concern in optical communication technologies. However, it appears that different categories of misalignment degrade the coupling efficiency (CE) when it comes to fiber-to-lens coupling. Unexpected noise gets generated by the lateral asymmetry because of back-reflection from the fiber endpoint to the laser diode (LD). In this article, we present an easily understood theoretical approach for determining the reflected intensity noise (RIN) when an LD is coupled to a graded index fiber (GIF) with an upside-down tapering parabolic microlens (UDTPML) on the fiber tip. We exhibit the RIN values concerning probable lateral alignment errors. The pertinent ABCD matrix has been applied to derive the relevant CE in the context of lateral misalignment. The findings will provide significant guidance for minimizing such noise in optical fiber couplers, leading to more efficient and reliable optical technology. Further, the study not only meets the current demands of high-speed data transmission but also paves the way for future advancements in optical technology.

An intelligent autoencoder for reducing peak to average power in advanced optical 5G radio network for 64-QAM transmission schemes

4. April 2025

Nidhi Gour, Surendra Yadav, Arun Kumar

PDF downloaden

In this study, we present an intelligent autoencoder-based method to address the advanced optical 5G radio networks’ peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) problem. Effective PAPR reduction strategies are necessary because high PAPR in multicarrier communication systems, like OFDM, causes power inefficiencies and signal distortion. By utilizing autoencoders’ potent representation learning capabilities, our approach decreases PAPR by encoding and decoding signals with less amplitude fluctuations. The autoencoder is trained using a sizable dataset of multicarrier signals, which helps the model learn how to compress and rebuild signals with as few peak excursions as possible. The suggested method is tested in a 64-QAM and 256 subcarrier 5G system that is representative of metropolitan settings with substantial line-of-sight components and operates in a Rician fading channel environment. The intelligent autoencoder considerably lowers PAPR while preserving signal integrity and overall system performance, according to simulation data. By comparing the suggested method’s performance to that of conventional PAPR reduction strategies, it is shown to be more effective in terms of both bit error rate (BER) and PAPR reduction. This study demonstrates how sophisticated machine learning approaches can be incorporated into next-generation optical 5G communication systems to enable more dependable and efficient 5G networks.

Underwater Optical Communication (UWOC) uses visible light (wavelengths around 450–550 nm) to transmit data through water. The system consists of LED/laser transmitters and photodetector receivers that convert electrical signals to light pulses and vice versa. While offering high bandwidth (Gbps) and low latency, the technology is limited by water turbidity, scattering, and absorption, typically restricting effective range to 10–100 m in clear water. The transfer of data from underwater unmanned systems or sensors to a surface vessel or land-based station poses a considerable obstacle in marine surveillance and research. In this work, 4 and 8 quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) schemes and different pulse modulation techniques namely Pulse Position Modulation (PPM), Differential Pulse Interval Modulation (DPIM), and Dual-Header Pulse Interval Modulation (DH-PIM) are analyzed with Forward Error Correction (FEC) for assessing the performance of underwater optical communication systems for efficient data transmission. An exponential gamma function is used to model the underwater channel, and the performance is estimated for data rates of 100 Mbps, 500 Mbps, 1 Gbps, and 2 Gbps. For 2 Gbps transmission incorporating FEC, 4-QAM performs best among all the modulation technique considered, as it provides maximum transmission range of 34.9 m, for a transmitted power of 5 mW at BER of 10 −15 . In the case of pulse modulation techniques, 8-PPM gives maximum distance of 29.6 m under similar operating conditions.

This paper discusses three optical non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) techniques – multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), rate-splitting (RS), and auxiliary signal superposition (ASSP) – as efficient physical-layer security solutions to protect transmitted data. With these sophisticated NOMA methods, higher-layer encryption approaches can be avoided while improving security. This paper offers an in-depth analysis of the current survey papers on MIMO NOMA, RS NOMA, and ASSP NOMA, providing comparative analysis of their methodologies, merits, and demerits.

To overcome these limitations, this paper suggests a new framework that combines MIMO, RS, and ASSP into an integrated security-enhanced NOMA system. By integrating these methods, the suggested approach improves secrecy capacity, decreases signal interception threats, and enhances system robustness in optical wireless communications. The combined application of these strategies results in remarkable performance gains, such as improved interference management, improved user fairness, and efficient power allocation. The results of this work prove the potential of this hybrid NOMA system as a more efficient and secure solution for future optical communication networks.

Passive optical networks (PON) have transformed network access by offering cost-effective deployment, high-speed connectivity, scalability, and low power consumption. Integrating optical and wireless networks further enhances mobility and capacity while reducing operational costs. Radio over fiber (RoF) systems efficiently connect base stations to a central station via optical fibers but suffer from issues like high bit error rates (BER) and low Q-factor values. Wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) addresses these challenges by transmitting multiple signals over a single-mode fiber. This study simulates WDM-RoF performance under varying fiber lengths and channel spacings using OptiSystem, analyzing BER, Q-factor, and eye diagrams. To combat attenuation, semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) and erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) are evaluated in a fixed ring topology. Results identify optimal configurations for improved signal efficiency and long-distance transmission, visualized using MATLAB.

Ankur Sood, Rahul Kaushik

PDF downloaden

In this paper, a spatially multiplexed, OFDM-based radio over free space optical (RoFSO) communication system is proposed to enhance the data rate. The input data streams 1–4 are combined using space division multiplexing (SDM) to achieve 80 Gbps (4 × 20 Gbps) transmission rate. At SDM level, an optical carrier of 193.1 THz frequency is selected and various Laguerre Gaussian (LG) modes LG00, LG01, LG02, and LG03 are assigned to individual data streams 1–4. The RoFSO link is analyzed for different atmospheric attenuation and turbulence conditions while measuring system bit error rate (BER), Q-factor, received signal power, signal to noise ratio (SNR), etc. A comparative analysis for back to back (B2B), subcarrier multiplexed (SCM-MUX), wavelength division multiplexed (WDM-MUX), and space division multiplexed (SDM-MUX) configuration is carried out. In FSO environment, the SDM-MUX configuration is further analyzed for various haze, rain, fog, and dust conditions. Analysis shows that the extended link range is observed under low attenuation conditions. The impact of atmospheric turbulence under light rain and heavy rain conditions is also analyzed. The overall analysis estimates higher transmission rate for SDM-MUX configuration. Also, channel capacity can be enhanced by introducing additional optical modes for the selected design configuration.

In satisfying the world bandwidth demand, wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) technology has gained paramount importance for modern telecommunication networks. Here, WDM provides simultaneous transmission of multiple data streams in one optical fiber, utilizing the high bandwidth capacity of optical fibers to answer the immense growth in data traffic. This paper presents the new WDM architecture with OADM, dynamic bandwidth allocation, and system performance monitoring for optimal utilization of the entire optical communication systems. Dynamic allocation of optical resources using the tunability of WDM permits enhanced flexibility for bandwidth reconfiguration and reduced operational costs. OADMs allow for the drop and add of a wavelength on demand, thereby providing an efficient mechanism for forwarding traffic through point-to-point, multicast, and mesh network topologies. These features greatly enhance the scalability and survivability of optical networks, especially with the advent of the next generation of broadband services such as video conferencing and distance learning.

PDF downloaden

In this work, standard cladding diameter based weakly coupled heterogeneous multicore fibers (SC-WC-Het-MCFs) have been investigated using COMSOL and MATLAB simulation platforms to obtain low crosstalk (XT) and peak bending radius ( R pk ) values. Therefore, fiber design parameters dependent fluctuations in the crosstalk and worst crosstalk (XT W ) levels have been analyzed for the 6-core and 8-core MCFs arranged in rectangular, square, circular and double ring layouts. Further, for all the considered MCF structures, in order to obtain mode effective area value, A eff ≈80 μm 2 , core parameters, peak bending radius and crosstalk values have been obtained. The lowest values of the crosstalk have been obtained as −39.13 dB and −18.18 dB in the circular layout, respectively for the 6-core and 8-core SC-WC-Het-MCFs. Further, compared to the 6-core and 8-core double ring layout SC-WC-Het-MCFs, the value of the R pk for the circular layout is slightly higher in case of 6-core, while it is significantly lower in case of 8-core SC-WC-Het-MCF. Thus, compared to the double ring structure reported in the literature, the circular arrangement of cores in SC-WC-Het-MCF results in low XT and R pk and is simple in design. Hence, the low XT and R pk of the circular layout SC-WC-Het-MCF may be suitable for the long-distance transmission applications.

Enhancing of optical spectrum efficiency through reducing the baud rate for advanced modulation techniques

12. März 2025

Osamah N. Qasim, Wael A.H. Hadi

PDF downloaden

An essential consideration for an optical network design engineer when starting a wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) network is to improve spectrum efficiency by selecting the optimal baud rate (symbol rate). In this paper will provide a concise overview of the rising baud rates and modulation types, highlighting the key advantages and issues associated with their increments and elucidating the reciprocal correlation that binds them together. Two systems for phase shift keying (PSK) modulations and quadrature shift keying (QAM) modulations are designed and simulated. The results show that the best type of modulation to use for the capacity 100G and 200G is quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) for different fiber lengths (5, 10, 80, 400, 800 and 6,400 km) depending on the comparison of the type of modulation with received optical signal to noise ratio (OSNR) and log of bit error rate (BER). In this case higher order modulation can be used, but that will direcvtly affect optical reach and that is what will highlight by studying the effect of changing the types of modulation for many of the distances that mentioned to get better modulation order than QPSK for required capacity 100G and 200G within those lengths that provide smaller baud rate and better spectrum efficiency.

Hailu Dessalegn Ayalew, Srinivas Talabattula, Pushparaghavan Annamalai, Pragya Mishra

PDF downloaden

In this paper, we proposed high speed 8PSK optical modulator using silicon/electro-optic polymer hybrid coupled ring resonators (Si/EO-PHCRR). The design comprises of two coupled ring resonator (CRRs) that has a primary and secondary rings and a single ring resonator (SRR), which acts as a delay line. The two CRRs are arranged in parallel within the two branches of the Mach–Zehnder interferometer (MZI), collectively producing a quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) at the output terminal of MZI. The SRR is also configured in series with MZI and functions as an angle modulator, essentially serving as a π /4 phase shift modulator that operates based on the bit pattern applied to it. The CRR ensures a high energy storing capability that enhances the modulation efficiency and enables relatively high extinction ratio with better design flexibility and negligible losses. Thus, in this system, a 3 dB modulation bandwidth f 3d B = 51.14 GHz is realized with the moderate quality factor of Q = 3,839 and tunability of the modulator is found to be 723.65 pm/V with an extinction ratio of 29 dB. Also, the performance analysis of the modulator have be done at the bit rate of 150 Gbps and resulted in a high optical signal to noise ratio (OSNR) of 17.98 dB with a BER of 10 −9 at the span of 100 Km dispersion shifted fiber.

A mode division multiplexing (MDM)-based free space optics (FSO) system is considered as a potential contender to offer an ultra-high capacity wireless connection. Also, polarization division multiplexing (PDM) technique is extensively used in an FSO system to tackle the costing issue in the multiservice providers’ scenario. Thus, a PDM/MDM-FSO system using orbital angular momentum (OAM) beams for 128 users is proposed to enhance the spectral efficiency as well system capacity. OAM [0, 0] and OAM [1, 0] modes are operated under the severe climate conditions. The results exhibit that the system offers maximum FSO range of 3,300 m at 32 × 4 × 40 Gbps transmission rate under very clear, light rain, and haze atmospheric conditions. Besides, for acceptable quality factor of value 6, received power of −16 to −13 dBm is obtained for all operating modes and polarization beams under very clear condition over 2,000 m range. It is also seen that maximum beam divergence of 4.3–7 mrad can be sustained with the polarized OAM beams. As compared to existing works, this work indicates best performance in terms of link capacity, spectral efficiency, and data rate.

Amit Kumar Garg, Piyush Kulshreshtha

PDF downloaden

Optical Networks form the core network of 5G networks. Efficient routing implementation is essential for optimizing the 5G optical core network performance. A new approach to routing is proposed through an RL agent, which is an extended version of the TD3 algorithm with features such as averaging of losses, Prioritized Experience Replay (PER), and annealing of priorities to enhance the trade-off between exploration and exploitation in RL. The approach is validated using experimental evaluation with an OMNeT++ simulator to check the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm in optimizing the latency, throughput, and energy in network routing. It significantly outperforms existing agents based on Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (DDPG), Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO), and State-Action-Rewards-State-Action (SARSA) algorithms. A detailed comparison with the existing algorithms demonstrates that there was a reduction in latency and energy and increase in throughput. The proposed algorithm outperformed DDPG, PPO, and SARSA algorithms, achieving a 76 % reduction in network delays, a 2.6 % reduction in energy consumption, and 1.8 % improvement in throughput and thus contributes to the ongoing efforts of addressing the routing and energy challenges in dynamic 5G Optical networks.

Jabbar K. Mohammed, Samir M. Hameed, Riyadh Mansoor

PDF downloaden

In underwater optical communications (UWOC) systems, when an optical signal encounters scattering objects or reflects off other underwater bodies before reaching the detector, it ultimately results in the scattering of waveform time and time spreading, which decreases the data rate due to inter-symbol interference (ISI). This paper proposes using a simple transmitter for pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) combined with dual-polarization (DP), and a raised cosine filter (RCF) is utilized at the receiver. The main goal of this system is to double the data rate capacity for features of DP, improve the bit error rate (BER), and ensure an optimized coverage range for the capabilities of mitigating symbol interferences. Different attenuation cases for the proposed system are examined based on water turbidity. In addition, the proposed system is evaluated in different worse cases, such as in turbulences, channel delay, and the different inclination angle and roll-off factors. However, it can reach an acceptable coverage distance of 7 m for turbid water while it increases to 72 m for pure water at BER = 10 −6 .

Visible light communication (VLC) being a key component of light-fidelity (Li-Fi), requires adaptive and efficient modulation techniques to guarantee reliable data transmission under varying channel conditions. This study focuses on the prediction of modulation techniques in VLC systems, namely, on-off keying (OOK), pulse position modulation (PPM): 4-PPM, 8-PPM and 16-PPM, 4 – differential pulse interval modulation (DPIM), orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) and generalized space shift keying (GSSK), using machine learning based approach. A convolutional neural network (CNN) is trained on a synthetic dataset which is generated under varying channel conditions and noise levels. The trained model is then used to classify modulation techniques based on signal features extracted from simulated VLC signals. The model is then exported and used to predict modulation techniques in a different dataset. The outcomes demonstrate CNNs’ effectiveness in real time modulation technique prediction. This method presents a viable way to boost Li-Fi communication effectiveness in varying environments.

Radio over fiber (RoF) for satellite intermediate frequency (IF) signal distribution is essential for long-distance, low-loss IF signal transmission from satellite ground stations. The optical connection uses low-loss optical transmission windows for operation. Satellite communication infrastructure requires sophisticated optical components including laser sources, optical modulators, and photodetectors to preserve signal integrity and bandwidth. Satellite-based services through hundreds of channels offer audio and image displays of film quality. By sending broadcast signals from earth satellites, they address the issues of distortion and range. There are many more clients in the line of sight for the satellites. Hence, optical transmission of satellite signals from a single antenna will be economical along with better signal to noise ratio. This paper investigates the cost-effective distribution of satellite IF signals for a Ku band radio over fiber link. The model consists of an ideal low noise block converter arrangement in the antenna, followed by an 850 nm VCSEL based multimode fiber link. The receiver part of the link has a PIN photo detector and blocks to extract the data from IF band of (Digital video broadcasting- satellite) DVB-S modulated signal. The link performance is evaluated based on scatter plot and error vector magnitude. The effect of operating temperature and the link length on the overall performance is also examined.

Quality of Transmission (QoT) prediction is done by a proposed method in optical networks. It uses a Radial Basis Function Network (RBFN) model trained with data from a comprehensive optical model. The RBFN model is enhanced with several techniques to improve its accuracy. The key objective is to enhance hardware utilization by significantly reducing the required system margin, potentially up to the order of dBs. To achieve this, the study employs the Radial Basis Function Network (RBFN) model, capitalizing on input data related to connectivity and signal characteristics for QoT prediction. The proposed method achieves good performance (MSE: 0.802, MAE: 0.2) but is slower than some existing methods. However, compared to these existing methods, the proposed method has 1.54 %, 5.32 %, and 5.46 % higher performance than SOM-RBF, AHFSE, and Wavelet-chaos NN. This research also contributes to the field by introducing a new cognitive-based QoT model that uses deep learning techniques.

Photonic crystal fiber (PCF) architectures have garnered significant interest due to their versatile applications across various fields. However, the complexity of PCF designs and the computational demands of full vectorial finite element method (FV-FEM) simulations pose challenges in fully realizing their potential. While prior research has explored artificial neural networks (ANNs) to accelerate simulation predictions, proposed approaches were often limited by sample size and generalizability. In this manuscript we introduce conditional generative adversarial networks (CTGAN) to augment real datasets, facilitating more effective ANN training. We evaluate CTGAN’s performance by comparing the quality of augmented data with real data and assess the predictive accuracy of ANNs trained on both augmented and real datasets. Our results demonstrate enhanced predictive accuracy, with higher R 2 values for optical property predictions from structural parameters using the augmented dataset-trained ANN. Furthermore, the mean squared error (MSE) during ANN training decreased significantly (from 0.0051 to 0.0011), requiring fewer convergence epochs of only 88 compared to 114 for the real dataset. The proposed approach enables faster optical property predictions while reducing the required dataset generation simulations by up to 27.9 %.

PDF downloaden

Underwater wireless optical communication (UWOC) has emerged as a promising solution for high-speed, low-latency communication in underwater environments. This study investigates the performance of a visible light communication (VLC)-based UWOC system incorporating polarization division multiplexing (PDM) and advanced modulation schemes, including non-return-to-zero (NRZ) and return-to-zero (RZ). The system, utilizing red, green, and blue (RGB) wavelengths, was evaluated under three distinct environmental conditions: Pure Sea, Clear Ocean, and Coastal Ocean, each characterized by varying levels of attenuation due to differences in scattering and absorption coefficients. Through comprehensive simulations, key performance metrics such as bit error rate (BER), transmission range, and eye patterns were analyzed. Results reveal that RZ modulation consistently outperformed NRZ, providing superior signal clarity and lower BER across all conditions. Among the wavelengths, blue light demonstrated the best performance due to its lower susceptibility to attenuation, making it ideal for high-speed communication. These findings contribute to the development of robust UWOC systems for applications in environmental monitoring, underwater exploration, and autonomous vehicle communication.

Orthogonal time frequency selective (OTFS) is a two-dimensional modulation technique that encodes data in the delay-Doppler domain, offering robust communication in dynamic environments. However, the high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) in OTFS waveforms can degrade the performance of power amplifiers (PA) in the system. To address this, the proposed work introduces a partial transmission sequence (PTS) method to effectively reduce PAPR while preserving system throughput. The study evaluates the PTS technique’s performance in terms of key metrics, including bit error rate (BER) and power spectral density (PSD), using MATLAB 2016 for simulation. Results demonstrate that the proposed PTS method significantly outperforms traditional approaches, achieving a PAPR reduction of 1–3.8 dB and reducing power consumption by up to 30 %. These improvements highlight the potential of the PTS method for enhancing the efficiency and reliability of OTFS systems, making it a promising solution for high-performance wireless and optical communication networks. The findings underline the effectiveness of integrating PTS in OTFS to address PAPR challenges while ensuring minimal impact on system performance, paving the way for its application in next-generation communication technologies.

This paper presents the polarization division multiplexed absolute added correlative coding (PDM-AACC) in an optical intersatellite link (OISL). It is modeled to operate in a low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite broadband constellation network, and its receiver front-end (RFE) comprises avalanche photodiodes (APDs). Its performance is then comparatively investigated against two other OISLs adopting the absolute added correlative coding (AACC) and the 4-pulse amplitude modulation (4-PAM) formats, respectively. When transmitting 20 Gbps over the maximum LEO-LEO link distance of 6,000 km, the 4-PAM and AACC needed a minimum transmitter laser power of 36 dBm and 29 dBm to meet the bit-error rate (BER) requirement of less than 10 −9 , whereas the PDM-AACC required 27 dBm. It also supported longer transmission ranges, narrower telescope pointing error angles, and smaller telescope aperture diameter sizes in comparison to the 4-PAM and the AACC. The modeled PDM-AACC modulated OISL further improved on the receiver sensitivities of the latter two by 10 dBm and 2 dBm in addition to increasing its spectral efficiencies. The bit rate of all three links were then doubled to 40 Gbps. While the 4-PAM and AACC sustained it for distances of 2,800 km and 4,800 km, the PDM-AACC met the BER requirement for distances of up to 6,200 km.

A key component of high-speed switching networks is an optical logic gate. This study presents the design and analysis of an all-optical XOR gate based on a two-dimensional photonic crystal (2D PC) structure, aiming to enhance high-speed switching in optical networks. The XOR gate, with two input and one output waveguide, is constructed on a hexagonal lattice, optimized for operation at a wavelength of 1,550 nm. The design is evaluated using the Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) approach, which simulates the optical performance of the structure. Key performance metrics, including the bit rate, contrast ratio, and delay time, are computed, showing that the proposed logic gate achieves a high contrast ratio of 30.35 dB and a minimal delay time of 0.4 ps. The results confirm the potential of this all-optical XOR gate for integration into high-speed optical circuits, offering low power consumption and high efficiency. This work demonstrates the feasibility of utilizing photonic crystal structures for high-performance optical logic gates in future communication systems. The simplicity of fabrication in a two-dimensional photonic crystal (2D-PC)-based all-optical logic gate can often be attributed to its simple design.

Radio over fiber is upcoming and maturing technology in terms of security, reliability, and coverage for long-distance optical-wireless communication systems. The nonlinear behavior and dispersive nature of optical channels are performance restrictive factors limiting the long reach in such systems. Along with enhancing channel capacity and bandwidth for radio signals over a long distance, the use of OFDM-based such systems can overcome various performance degrading effects like phase modulation, electrical power attenuation, chromatic dispersion, and multipath fading. Here, we propose our design of an 8 channels WDM RoF PON system using the OFDM scheme. Performance analysis is carried out in terms of performance comparison for various modulation schemes like 8, 16, 128, 256, and 512 QAM levels applied on information for long transmission reach of a system up to 500Kms. 8 channels WDM system model is developed to analyze the performance at a higher data rate. System performance is evaluated with Q factor and EVM level parameters of recovered signals at various transmission distances.

This work demonstrates an optimal design for photonic crystal fiber (PCF) as a saturable absorber with high nonlinearity and low confinement losses. Using COMSOL Multiphysics 6.1 as simulation software, the propagation characteristics of the proposed PCF in terms of effective refractive index, effective mode area, chromatic dispersion, confinement loss, and nonlinearity were successfully simulated and examined in detail. A Finite Element Method (FEM) combined with a Perfectly Matched Layer (PML) absorbing boundary condition was applied to evaluate the PCF structure across a broad wavelength range from 1,000 nm to 2,000 nm. The proposed PCF features five concentric rings of air-filled holes symmetrically arranged in a hexagonal structure, with the silica core doped with a uniform level of concentration of 10 % mol of germanium (Ge). Simulation results indicate a remarkably low confinement loss at a wavelength of 1,550 nm, specifically on the order of 5 × 10 −7 (dB/m). Additionally, it reveals a high nonlinearity of 11.2 (1/W.Km) coupled with a simultaneously low negative chromatic dispersion of −14.2 (ps/nm.m). This makes it an excellent candidate for various applications involving advanced nonlinear optical systems. Such findings highlight the possibility of the proposed Ge-PCF as a promising saturable absorber for ultrashort pulse laser generation, offering a viable and practical alternative to traditional saturable absorbers in the mid-infrared region.

The adoption of twisted light beams and optical code division multiplexing (OCDMA) in underwater wireless optical communication (UWOC) represents a significant step forward in underwater communication technology, offering new possibilities for secure and high-speed data transfer in challenging underwater environments. A weight managed zero cross correlation (WMZCC) code-based UWOC system is demonstrated, capable of providing four users with a 10 Gbps capacity in various ocean/sea conditions, including coastal, clear and pure seas. The WMZCC code is having lower code lengths, mapping free user generation, least multiple access interference (MAI) and easy to generate code matrix. By using the Q factor as an assessment criteria, the performance comparisons between OAM-WMZCC codes and OAM diagonal permutation shift (DPS) has been established. The findings show that OAM-WMZCC performs better than OAM-DPS because of the ZCC code and DPS has variable cross correlation. Further, it is also observed that OAM beam Laguerre–Gaussian (LG) 0,0 offered highest Q factor due to least mode diameter and LG 90,0 provide least performance because of maximum energy leakage at receiver. In comparison to OAM-DPS codes in UWOC, the presented OAM-WMZCC codes provide Q factor enhancements of 28 %, and without using OAM in the system, the presented system surpassed the performance of DPS codes by 21 %.

Free space optical communication (FSO) has become an emerging broadband network. Even with the potential advantages of FSO technology, atmospheric turbulence, cloud-induced fading, and other environmental conditions such as fog, aerosol, temperature changes, storms, heavy rain, aiming inaccuracy, and scintillation reduce the performance of the faithful transmission. This article presented the 256QAM-FSO link, investigated the effect of different weather conditions on the received signals, and summarized bit error rate, error vector magnitude, symbol error rate (SER), power spectral density, and signal-to-noise ratio, and constellation diagram with and without atmosphere turbulence scenarios. The power spectral density of the output signal is a maximum of 11.61 dBm in no turbulence and a minimum of −72.80 dBm for heavy rain conditions to noise ratio degraded in the worst case of heavy rain 0.01 dB and achieved 18.57 dB in the best case of no turbulence, whereas SNR is obtained 9.37 dB in case of fog. Error vector magnitude suffers more from the haze condition, and SER varies from 0.70 to 0.85. The maximum bit error rate obtained for heavy rain is 5,432. With the advanced modulation scheme, the 256QAM-FSO link will provide wide bandwidth, which is helpful for outdoor and indoor services, terrestrial transmission, mile solutions, and so on.

The integration of Optical Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) with the 5G radio waveforms has lately been attracting special attention toward its possible Visible Light Communication (VLC) systems. On the other hand, however, a key challenge in the Optical OFDM is the presence of very high PAPR, degrading the overall system performance by introducing nonlinear distortions in the optical transmitter. In the present paper, different kinds of PAPR reduction algorithms specifically developed for Optical OFDM in VLC systems are developed and investigated. Analyze techniques like clipping, selective mapping (SLM), partial transmit sequence (PTS), and companding for their PAPR reduction efficiency along with the preservation of spectral efficiency and signal integrity. Based on the above aspects, various performance metrics, such as BER, computational complexity, and SNR, have been considered in order to understand each technique’s trade-off. It can be clearly seen that the hybrid and adaptive approaches achieve greater PAPR reduction without much loss of performance and are thus appropriate for future generation optical communication systems. This analysis underlines the use of optimized PAPR reduction algorithms to achieve robust and efficient systems for 5G VLC applications.

In recent years, terahertz (THz) communications have gained significant attention due to their potential for supporting ultra-high data rates in future wireless systems, particularly in multiple-input multiple-output non-orthogonal multiple access (MIMO-NOMA). However, efficient power allocation and interference management remain critical challenges. In this work, a power allocation approach is devised for THz MIMO-NOMA systems based on fuzzy integrated user pairing. First, the system model is considered and the devised work is based on grouping the users and hybrid precoding. By considering three constraints including position, signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR), and initial power the user grouping procedure is done. Additionally, the grouping of users is based on the deep-embedded fuzzy clustering, where the measure of distance is modified by applying the above-mentioned three parameters. Next, the hybrid precoding of the THz MIMO-NOMA scheme is done. Later, the power allocation is done based on the user grouping, which is performed concerning the established Kookaburra goshawk optimization (KGO) by employing energy efficiency (EE), a utility function. Here, the KGO is established by unifying the Kookaburra optimization algorithm (KOA) and northern goshawk optimization (NGO). The KGO for power allocation reached the maximal achievable rate, EE, sum rate, utility, and simulation time of 0.958, 0.909, 0.858, 0.899, and 3.579, respectively, for 400 users.

Krishna Sarma, Mohd Mansoor Khan

PDF downloaden

A combination of a thulium-doped fiber amplifier (TDFA) and an erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) in a sequential configuration has been identified to design a hybrid amplifier. The proposed amplifier module delivers a flat and high gain. This method is potentially an effective strategy to fully utilize the S + C band (1,460 nm–1,565 nm) for amplifying fiber optic signals. The proposed TDF-EDF hybrid amplifier has an optimum average flat-band gain of 24.27 dB from 1,460 nm to 1,516 nm with a maximum gain of 47.07 dB at 1,528 nm. The parametric optimization has been performed considering the optical pumping configuration with corresponding power, input-signal power, amplifier length, ion density with its radius, and the hybrid amplifier’s numerical aperture (NA). The nonlinear clustering-ion effects known as the ion-ion interaction mechanism (IM) have been aimed to distort the signal gain with broadband flat-gain profile minimally. Apparently, the optimized parameter reduced the gain deterioration by the IM effect to 1.12 % with homogeneous up-conversion (HUC) and 8.14 % with the combined effect of HUC and pair-induced quenching (PIQ) corresponding to the maximum gain. In the flat-band region, the HUC and HUC + PIQ combination have the respective gain deteriorating contributions of 0.67 % and 5.24 %. For the input signal power of −40 dBm, the gain flatness of the hybrid amplifier is obtained as 3.27 dB for 1,460 nm–1,516 nm regions without IM effects. However, with HUC and HUC + PIQ, gain flatness has been reduced to 3.08 dB and 2.19 dB, respectively. Furthermore, the gain variation ratio (GVR) of 0.05 (preferably GVR < ${< }$ 0.4) is obtained from 1,472 nm to 1,504 nm wavelength region indicating a flatter gain response.

The increasing demand for higher bandwidth and reliable communication networks driven by next-generation mobile technologies (5G/6G) and the Internet of Things (IoT) poses challenges for existing communication infrastructures. Free Space Optics (FSO) offers high-speed wireless data transmission comparable to fiber optics but suffers from significant performance degradation due to environmental factors such as rain, fog, and atmospheric turbulence. This study investigates the potential of a hybrid Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM)-FSO system to overcome these challenges. By combining DWDM’s high capacity with the flexibility of FSO links, the system achieves a data rate of 5.4 Tbps across 90 users. Simulations conducted using OptiSystem software evaluate the impact of different weather conditions – clear skies, heavy rain, and dense fog – on performance. Key metrics, including bit error rate (BER), quality factor (Q-factor), and eye diagrams, are analyzed to assess signal integrity and reliability. A comparative study of Single Input Single Output (SISO) and MIMO configurations (2 × 2 and 3 × 3) shows that the 3 × 3 MIMO-FSO setup significantly enhances performance, maintaining signal quality and extending range under adverse weather. These findings highlight the hybrid DWDM-FSO system’s potential to deliver high-speed, resilient communication, ensuring seamless connectivity in dynamic environments.

The ability of the optical code division multiplexing approach to allow secure information transfer has sparked a great deal of interest in underwater wireless optical communication (UWOC). A weight managed zero cross correlation (WMZCC) code based UWOC system is presented delivering 5 users × 10 Gbps capacity under different ocean/sea conditions such as pure sea, clear ocean and coastal sea. The WMZCC code has least user interferences, mapping free code construction, weight managed, controlled code length, and less complexity. The performance comparisons between WMZCC codes and diagonal permutation shift (DPS) are established by considering Q factor as evaluation parameter and results revealed that performance of WMZCC is better than DPS due to ZCC code. Q factor values under pure sea at 13 m for WMZCC codes and DPS codes are 13.24 and 9.86 respectively. For 7.2 m UWOC link distance, Q factor values obtained are 13.1 and 10.2 in case of WMZCC and DPS respectively under coastal sea. On contrary, DPS has variable cross correlation and therefore experience more multiple access interference (MAI). The presented system successfully offered >20 % performance improvement in Q factor as compared to DPS codes in UWOC.

This technology is characterized by several benefits, including secure transmission, high bandwidth, and rapid data transfer rates, making it a promising candidate for integration into emerging 6G networks. However, the efficiency of FSO systems is adversely affected by various weather conditions, such as rain, temperature fluctuations, snow, and fog, as well as atmospheric disturbances. This paper presents a Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO)-based approach to optimize the divergence angle of FSO systems. PSO is a type of artificial intelligence that excels at managing complex settings and adapting to changes in the environment, thus making FSO systems more robust against such challenges. By optimizing this critical parameter, the proposed method significantly improves the reliability and efficiency of data transmission in FSO systems, supporting the advanced performance demands of future 6G networks. This optimization ensures FSO systems can achieve faster and more reliable connectivity, essential for the next generation of wireless communication.

Loss and dispersion are the major issues that need to be optimized for sustainable and effective optical communication. The lowest loss wavelength and best dispersion-managed wavelength are partially conjugated by dispersion shifted fiber (DSF), dispersion flattened fiber (DFF), and different modulation techniques. In search of further simple and effective alternatives to compensate for both the loss and dispersion of optical fiber, we have considered some commercially available optical fiber friendly materials like pure SiO 2 , B 2 O 3 , P 2 O 5 and GeO 2 doped SiO 2 along with some popular fluoride glass combinations known as ZBLAN, HBL, ABCY, ZBLA, ZBG. Our study on material dispersion of some pure and doped materials has brought out some exciting results regarding the optimized loss-dispersion conjugation. It is observed that the systematic applications of the compositions can replace the existing DSF and DFF. At the same time, the efficiency of DSF and DFF can be increased by using these fiber materials as well. The technique can be used to boost the efficiency of existing loss-dispersion management systems by selectively replacing the materials of those systems. Our significant report on the fundamental properties of various fibers and their materials has a visionary direction toward loss-dispersion management.

PDF downloaden

In this paper, an analytical method is presented to assess the performance of bit error rate (BER) of a DC biased optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DCO-OFDM) SMF transmission with distributed Raman amplifier (DRA). Formulas are developed to determine the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at the output of a DCO-OFDM receiver and the bit error rate (BER) for an OFDM demodulator’s output. By considering the Gaussian probability density function (pdf) for the OFDM demodulator output, the average BER is calculated numerically. The results are presented based on receiver sensitivity, bit error rate and optical SNR at a given BER of 10 −9 , with variations in system parameters such as input signal power, data rate, fiber distance, modulation index and OFDM sub-channel number. A comparison of BER performance indicates that DC biased optical OFDM with intensity modulation direct detection (DCO-DD-OFDM) offers better receiver sensitivity compared to optical OFDM without DC bias at a BER of 10 −9 . Our analytical results align with the published findings on optical OFDM.

Using UAVs as relays in wireless communication offers several advantages like flexibility, coverage, line-of-sight communication, cost effectiveness, adaptability to changing network demands, etc. UAVs can perform surveillance, delivery, mapping, and disaster response. They offer real-time data collection, high maneuverability, and access to remote areas. In this manuscript, we consider a UAV-enabled dual hop mixed RF/FSO wireless communication system. The system includes a UAV acting as a decode-and-forward relay, facilitating communication from the base station (B) to multiple mobile users. The opportunistic scheduling scheme is used to select the user with the best instantaneous channel conditions, typically based on the highest signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) or lowest outage probability, to maximize throughput and ensure more reliable communication. The first hop from B to the UAV relay R, employs a free space optics (FSO) link modeled with gamma–gamma fading. The second hop, from R to multiple users, is a radio frequency (RF) link modeled with Rayleigh fading. The direct communication between base station and mobile users is not possible due to the blockage by various natural and man-made obstacles. We analyze the outage probability at high SNR values to gain further insights into system performance. Additionally, closed-form analytical expressions for the outage probability and average bit error rate (ABER) of the proposed system are derived.

PDF downloaden

In large-scale tiled chip multiprocessors (TCMPs), network-on-chip (NoC) is a prevalent interconnect solution. The NoC router plays a crucial role in NoC architecture, and two primary types exist: buffered and bufferless. The latter offers a promising solution due to its streamlined design, reduced energy consumption, and hardware efficiency. This paper proposes a 2D 4 × 4 mesh NoC architecture with a novel bufferless NoC router design using XY routing algorithm. The proposed mesh network consists of routers and processing elements, with each router connected to its four adjacent peers (North, South, East, and West) and a single processing element. The proposed router design eliminates the input buffers, output buffers and crossbar switch. The novel bufferless NoC router architecture comprises of various functional blocks, including ejection and injection controllers and Data ranking based on port prioritization, and age incrementor which efficiently solves long critical path issues by dynamically changing the port priority and hence solves the deadlock issue. By leveraging efficient routing and prioritization mechanisms, the novel architecture facilitates the seamless flow of flits through the network. Optical NoCs are based on optical interconnects and optical routers, and have significant bandwidth and power advantages. Our results indicate that the proposed bufferless router can lead to significant area (30.3 %) reduction over the standard BLESS.

The present study involves an examination of a communication system known as radio over free space optics (RoFSO), which was designed using Optisystem ver. 20. The main purpose of this inquiry is to analyze the transmission of data at a rate of 40 Gb/s over a link distance of 2 km. The achievement was attained by the utilization of four transmission channels, each of which has the capability to send data at a rate of 10 Gb/s. The system under consideration was evaluated through varying degrees of turbulence. Two scintillation models, log-normal and gamma–gamma, were used to evaluate the proposed communication performance and include evaluating the behavior of specific wavelengths (193.1, 193.2, 193.3, and 193.4 THz) in transmitting data. This evaluation is achieved by the metrics Q-factor, bit error rate (BER), and log BER. The suggested system’s data-transfer performance improved up to a distance of 1.75 km when the scintillation (L-N) model was applied, whereas it was limited to 0.75 km when the (G-G) model was imposed. Furthermore, it is noticed that the wavelength (193.1 THz) is distinct in data transfer across the two models, followed by the wavelength (193.4 THz). RoFSO is an emerging network architecture that holds significant potential for fulfilling the envisioned requirements for the advancement of 5G systems.

The exponential growth in demand for high-capacity optical systems has driven the advancement of advanced modulation formats to upgrade transmission capacity and transmission quality. Effective fault diagnosis and self-configuration in inter-satellite optical wireless communication systems (IsOWCS) depend intensely on the generated data. Machine learning (ML) approaches offer promising solutions in evaluating the execution of these networks. In this study, a dataset was created using OptiSystem 18.0. The dataset was composed of various modulation formats such as duobinary, return-to-zero (RZ), non-return-to-zero (NRZ), 33 % RZ, chirped NRZ, vestigial sideband (VSB) NRZ, carrier-suppressed return-to-zero (CSRZ), and VSB CSRZ. The classification of modulation formats has been presented in this study using ML. The dataset was created by varying input power from 0 to 20 dBm and evaluating parameters such as Q factor, input/output signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), power, range, eye closure, amplitude, height, eye opening, output OSNR. Four ML classifiers were used to predict the classification of different modulation formats. Random forest (RF) classifier performed exceptionally well and achieved 100 % accuracy. Moreover, an interactive user-friendly web page was also developed using Anvil for modulation format classification. The proposed research underscores the significance of selecting the appropriate modulation format to optimize the performance and transmission distance of IsOWCS, subsequently enhancing the operation of high-speed optical communication systems.

PDF downloaden

The Wavelength Division Multiplexing Passive Optical Network (WDM-PON) is considered a highly promising option for next-generation optical access networks. In this work, we propose and demonstrate a WDM-PON network architecture using colorless Optical Network Units (ONUs). Our design employs a single broadband source (comb source) to generate the optical carriers required for bidirectional transmission. We demonstrate the feasibility of implementing a WDM-PON over a 30 km standard single-mode fiber (SSMF-28), with downstream transmission at 640 Gbps and upstream at 160 Gbps. The proposed method involves comparing two WDM-PON networks with 16 channels, which have similar characteristics. In the first system, we use 32 carriers – 16 for downstream and 16 for upstream – while in the second system, only 16 carriers are used for both directions. In addition, this configuration allows us to easily double the total bandwidth of the network by increasing the number of ONUs to 32 and incorporating the unused carriers (the 16 other unused carriers from the second configuration).

Ajit Kumar

PDF downloaden

Visible light communication (VLC) presents a compelling solution for enhancing in-flight connectivity within commercial aircraft cabins. This study investigates the power distribution, coverage area, and handover performance of VLC systems inside aircraft based on line-of-sight (LoS) and first reflection signal. Results indicate that received power levels at different receiver positions are significantly affected with varying half-power semi-angles. Analysis of first reflection signal power distribution reveals maximum reflected power is achieved at semi-angle equal to 45°. Simulated coverage areas demonstrate the importance of half-power semi-angle size in determining signal confinement and separability. Handover simulations highlight the dynamic nature of passenger mobility and its impact on handover frequency, with smaller semi-angles resulting in higher handover counts. While directional transmission offers benefits such as interference mitigation and spatial reuse, it also introduces challenges related to handover frequency and coverage area. These findings underscore the need for careful optimization of VLC system designs and handover algorithms to ensure seamless connectivity and optimal performance in diverse aircraft environments.

PDF downloaden

This paper provides a system architecture to evaluate the results of high dynamic range orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) as a technique to transfer the 64-quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) basebands signal over fiber, for the signals of the fifth generation/new radio (5G/NR) broadcasting at 28 GHz suitable for millimeter wave (mm-wave) applications. With this radio-over-fiber (RoF) system, the Optiwave Opti-system software (2024) is used for the assessment research. The integration of 64QAM-OFDM and RoF methods has led to a reduction in wireless network costs while maintaining a high data rate. This paper shows the RoF system design, for a 100 MHz 5G/NR signal broadcast at 28 GHz, results the largest dynamic range for millimeter wave applications. With an optical modulator design of the IF and LO signals, 64-QAM OFDM is possible. Better dynamic range may be achieved by using this approach to eliminate the error in optical bands before the photo recognition process. The optical spectrum of the transmitted signal, signal to noise ratio (SNR), error vector magnitude (EVM), and the cancelation diagram serve as the foundation for the performance analysis. Based on the acquired results, the system that is being presented is a strong contender for mobile communication systems in the context of 5G and beyond.

In this study, the theoretical model of in-band pumped holmium-doped fluoride fiber laser was numerically investigated. A holmium-doped fluoride fiber is promoted for laser operating at 2.1 µm. The proposed model is based on the fundamental properties of a holmium doped fluoroindate glasses and parameters obtained from the previously published results. The model was simulated via a cladding pumped system at 2.051 µm pumping wavelength. Good validation between the suggested model with the previously published experimental measurements was achieved with considering the main transfer processes such as energy up-conversion transition and cross relaxation process. The numerical analysis indicated that the energy transfer up-conversion has a negative effect on the laser performance while the cross relaxation process causes significant enhancement on the performance of in-band pumped holmium doped fluoride fiber laser.

Numerical analysis on impedance characteristics of dual wavelength quantum cascade lasers

14. November 2024

Ashok Panchapakesan, Ganesh Madhan M.

PDF downloaden

This article reports the computation of impedance in dual wavelength quantum cascade lasers (DW-QCLs) for the first time. The DW-QCL operates at two wavelengths 10.5 μm and 8.9 μm and contains 48 stages. The injected current decides the single mode (emission at 10.5 μm) or bi-mode (emission at both wavelengths) lasing characteristics of the device. The device exhibits a higher impedance till I th (1) since lasing has not begun and sharply reduces from 18.8 Ω (at 0.5 I th (1) ) to 1.2 Ω at I th (1) at dc conditions. Under pre-threshold lasing region, the device exhibits a larger impedance and is inductive in nature. The maximum magnitude of impedance in this region is 18.82 Ω when the device is injected with 0.5I th (1) and it reduces to 10.45 Ω at 0.9I th (1) . In the lasing region (single and bi-mode), it is clearly visible that there are regions of capacitive reactance and inductive reactance occurring at different bands. The maximum impedance offered by the device over a wide range of frequencies is computed for different modes of operation. The analytical part to derive the equation of impedance of the DW-QCL involves the rate equations in frequency domain, the apparent substitution and simplification thereafter. The computation of impedance is necessary for matching the laser driver with the DW-QCL for efficient operation at higher operating frequencies.

The rapid growth of high-data-rate applications necessitates the development of new communication frameworks since bandwidth constraints for data-intensive applications hinder traditional networks and conventional microwave/radio frequency (RF) communications. This study explores a hybrid communication link that combines fiber-to-the-x (FTTx) and free-space optical (FSO) technologies, utilizing ultra-dense wavelength-division multiple access (UD-WDMA) with a channel spacing of 0.2 nm/25 GHz, under various weather conditions. Based on bit error rate (BER), optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR), and quality factor (QF), the performance of the suggested FSO-FTTx system was examined. The system performed well in diverse weather conditions, achieving a minimum BER of ≤10 −5 , QF values of 4 or higher, and OSNR levels between 10 and 20 dB. The proposed system successfully transmitted a data rate of 1.28 Tbps over 35 km in single-mode fiber (SMF), accommodating different FSO link ranges despite varying weather conditions. However, performance fluctuations were observed under adverse conditions, with attenuation ranging from 0.91 dB/km in extremely light mist to 273.39 dB/km in dense fog, impacting the FSO link range. The findings underscore the proposed hybrid system’s potential to enhance optical wireless communication for high data rates, making it promising for beyond 5G and early 6G applications.

Light Fidelity (LiFi) based on data transfer with visible light offers a more profound solution to the wireless communication paradigms. This study brings focus on how the line-of-sight (LOS) channel can be used to enhance the performance of a LiFi network. We discuss the LOS channel characteristics, system features, and deployment considerations with respect to evolution and prospects. Experimental modelling and conditions testing involve Q-factor, bit error rate (BER) and data rates analysis. The results presented in this study suggest that both the characteristics of channels and the data transmitted affect the efficiency of the network; higher data rates and longer distances lead to increased BER and lower Q-factor. The outcome of this study reveals key factors which influence the channel performance and provides a guideline that would be beneficial in advancing the LiFi system implementation for different applications. It is hoped that the findings of this study are useful for network engineers and researchers to design better and more flexible LiFi systems for various communication applications.

Neeraj Sharma

PDF downloaden

Intensity modulation (IM) formats are the legacy formats which are continuing to act as modulation formats of interest in fiber optic communication systems and optical networks. The IM formats have become formats of interest in free space optic communication (FSO) systems due to its simple generation and detection principle, thus making FSO system economical and easier to handle/operate under adverse and random characteristics of atmospheric channel. This paper compares the performance of different IM formats (with memory and without memory or memoryless). The IM formats considered here are non return to zero (NRZ), return to zero (RZ), carrier suppressed RZ (CSRZ), vestigial side band CSRZ (VSB-CSRZ), duobinary RZ (DRZ) and modified duobinary RZ (MDRZ). The comparative analysis investigates the effect of launch power and length of FSO channel at different data rates of 10 Gb/s and 40 Gb/s for single channel FSO system, with the help of simulations. The results discussed, depicts that VSB-CSRZ outperforms other modulation formats at 10 Gb/s and duobinary format has shown lesser degradation in system performance when bit rate increases from 10 Gb/s to 40 Gb/s.

Joint PAPR reduction with channel estimation for OFDM-based VLC systems

15. Oktober 2024

Mansour Eliwi Ali, Ayad A. Abdulkafi

PDF downloaden

This paper presents a new combination of channel estimation (CE) methods and peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) reduction techniques for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)-based visible light communication (VLC) systems. We first propose iterative clipping and filtering to minimize the PAPR of optical OFDM signals. Then, we introduce a computationally efficient, high-performance channel estimation approach using block-type pilots with modified clipped signals. The proposed method integrates clipping with three distinct CE techniques, resulting in both significant PAPR reduction and enhanced bit error rate (BER) performance. Among the CE methods evaluated, the expectation-maximization (EM) technique provides better BER results compared to other approaches. Simulation results confirm that the combined use of clipping and advanced CE methods leads to notable improvements in PAPR reduction and BER performance for OFDM-based VLC systems.

PDF downloaden

In this article, we investigate the performance of convolutional coding against the fading associated due to atmospheric turbulence as well as the polarization-induced crosstalk in free-space optical (FSO) communication system. The performance of FSO system strongly depends on atmospheric turbulence. Orthogonal frequency division modulation (OFDM) is one kind of solution for frequency selective fading channel. The OFDM modulated output signal is complex, which is not possible to transmit through FSO channel. To overcome this constraint, we consider non-Hermitian approach by adding polarization diversity. However, polarization add crosstalk to the system, which deteriorates the system bit error rate (BER) performance. All the analytical simulation results are presents graphically by using MATLAB software. All the provided results are in terms of system’s BER by varying the number of OFDM subcarrier, local oscillator power, link distance, and mean misalignment angle. Our earlier published article where we used space frequency block code (SFBC) and reported that almost 7.5 dB coding gain possible. In this proposed system model, we considered convolutional code instead of SFBC and found a significant amount almost 10 dB coding gain at a BER of 10 −12 when all the system’s parameter remains unchanged. Finally, we developed the closed-form expression of system’s average BER.

Farouk Kh. Shaker, Firas S. Mohammed, Muntadher J. Khudhair

PDF downloaden

Wireless communication signals experienced fluctuations in intensity due to atmospheric turbulence. The presented work uses a multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) system to study the performance free-space optical (FSO) communication over a diverse atmospheric turbulence condition channel. The findings produced demonstrate how various channel models perform in FSO system at varying levels of channel turbulence. From 7.9 for the Weak turbulence to 45.3 for the strong turbulence, the turbulence attenuation rises linearly. The data could be transmitted via a link length of up to 1 km with strong turbulence. Strong turbulence could have higher Q-factor, yet is constrained by short distance (1 km) in comparison with weak turbulence, which has greater distance (3.8 km), therefore communication quality is lower. For moderate and weak turbulence, the maximum link is around 1.5 km and 3.8 km, respectively. This study is useful for designing a stable FSO system for regional environments suffer from frequent fluctuated weather turbulence such as the Middle East and South Asia.

Free space optical (FSO) communication system is a promising candidate for day-to-day progressing networks because of its potential advantages such as, large bandwidth, line-of-sight communication, non-licensed spectrum, high data rates and many more. Relay-assisted communication provides an additional hike to the system’s performance by expanding its coverage range, enhancing data rates, capacity and mitigating the effect of turbulence. In this manuscript, FSO-radio frequency (RF) dual hop system is considered using decode and forward (DF) relaying protocol. Furthermore, chaotic signals are incorporated in the proposed system to enhance their confidentiality using differential chaos shift keying (DCSK). This is demonstrated by performing secrecy analysis of the proposed system. Here, it is assumed that FSO link experiences Gamma-Gamma turbulence along with pointing errors while RF link experiences Nakagami-m fading. The probability of error of the proposed system is analyzed, and the results indicated huge gain in the SNR requirements in FSO-RF-DCSK system. Also, secrecy analysis is performed using secrecy outage probability (SOP) as a metric for the proposed system. The findings are noteworthy as FSO-RF-DCSK system presents superior performance in terms of secrecy.

Solutions to the Schrödinger equation using deep neural networks for integrated photonics

1. Oktober 2024

Sourabh Kumar Dubey, Hibah Islahi, Raghvendra Singh

PDF downloaden

This paper introduces a novel method for solving the Schrödinger equation through the use of deep neural networks (DNNs), presenting a significant departure from traditional techniques. Conventional approaches to solving the Schrödinger equation, such as analytical methods and numerical algorithms, often face challenges when dealing with complex quantum systems due to their inherent limitations. These traditional methods can become cumbersome or even infeasible as the complexity of the systems increases. In contrast, our approach harnesses the capabilities of deep neural networks to approximate both the wavefunction and the energy eigenvalues of quantum systems. By leveraging the flexible and powerful nature of DNNs, we provide a new pathway to solving the Schrödinger equation that can potentially overcome the constraints of classical methods. To validate the effectiveness of our approach, we apply it to the particle in a box problem – a fundamental quantum mechanics model with well-established analytical solutions. This benchmark problem serves as a useful test case, allowing us to demonstrate that DNNs can not only replicate the known results accurately but also offer insights into how these networks can handle more intricate quantum systems. Our results reveal that DNNs are capable of accurately reproducing the analytical solutions for the particle in a box, illustrating their potential as a versatile tool for quantum mechanics.

In recent years, the evolution of optical wireless communication (OWC) system has emerged as a viable alternative to radio frequency communication. These technologies provide an effective solution for addressing the need for point-to-point communication, offering benefits such as higher bandwidth, faster data rates, no licensing requirements, low power usage, quick and simple installation, enhanced security, and resistance to electromagnetic interference. In this article, we analyze two wireless optical communication systems: one using an FSO channel and the other using an OWC channel. The analysis focuses on range and quality factor as performance metrics. We examine the performance of one-to-many Tx/Rx FSO/OWC channel under three different atmospheric conditions: clear weather, haze, and fog, using eye diagrams. The system analysis includes mathematical models for the received optical power and the pointing error. Additionally, we investigate the impact of spatial diversity on the performance of FSO/OWC channel with configurations of 1 × 1, 2 × 2, 4 × 4, and 8 × 8. Our findings indicate that the 8 × 8 FSO/OWC configurations yield better results compared to other configurations and the OWC channel performs well over long distances up to 110 km, while the FSO channel is more suitable for short range communication up to 37 km.

Sabita Mali, Jayashree Ratnam, Farida A. Ali, Pritam K. Sahoo

PDF downloaden

Free space optical (FSO) communications has garnered significant attention as a potential substitute for radio frequency (RF) wireless communication in short and long range transmissions. Free-space optical (FSO) communication is a method where an optical beam is sent across an unguided channel, gaining favour in high-speed wireless networks due to its large optical bandwidth, fast data transmission, lack of licencing requirements, secure nature, and easy setup. Despite several inherent advantages that FSO has over existing radio frequency (RF) communication technologies, its link performance is severely hampered by atmospheric fog and turbulence, which not only reduce optical irradiance but also cause the modulated optical beam to deviate from its intended path, impacting the quality of the received signal. This review paper discusses FSO technology, channel impairments under varied atmospheric attenuation conditions, advantages, and applications. Various channel models in terms of probability density functions are described, which characterise the statistical nature of the irradiance fluctuations of optical transmission through scattering and atmospheric turbulence. Key objectives that need to be addressed in the near future, particularly in fifth-generation (5G) and beyond, includes enhancing capacity, boosting data rates, minimising latency, and enhancing service quality. Last but not the least, several uses of FSO that facilitates 5G and future technologies have also been covered in this study.

Unidirectional transmission of optical waveguides in optical communication bands has been a difficult problem in the field of optical communication. In this paper, the valley Hall effect is utilized to enhance the transmission efficiency of optical wave in optical communication system. Valley photonic crystal is selected as the main material of optical waveguide in optical communication band. Valley photonic crystal is composed of air columns periodically arranged according to the honeycomb lattice in the dielectric material, which shows the valley Hall topological effect in transverse electric wave mode. By introducing the energy valley degree of freedom into the photonic crystal, the light wave is transmitted locally on the dielectric material at the interface, and the control of the dielectric material realizes the regulation of light transmission. The Chern number of optical waveguide topology in the optical communication band, the exchange phenomenon occurs at the same energy band position and realizes efficient unidirectional transmission of optical waveguides in optical communication bands. The experimental results show that the optical communication band optical waveguide based on the valley Hall effect has unique unidirectional transmission characteristics and robustness to cornering and is capable of realizing unidirectional optical transmission in optical communication systems.

Passive optical networks (PONs) are a highly developed and promising technology that offers low cost design, high bandwidth, and information rate for both residential and commercial use. PON uses the passive components incorporating couplers, splitters, as well as combiners. Compared to modern access networks, PON features bidirectional capabilities, cost-effectiveness, high resource efficiency, transparency, privacy, flexibility, along with upgradeability. Due to these ever increasing demands for high bandwidth, high capacity, and long reach communication for next generation networks, next generation passive optical networks (NG-PONs) are optimum choice. It provides cost-effective, energy efficient network architecture and can be realized in integrated wired/wireless network scenarios for fronthaul/backhaul data transmissions. This paper reviews the standardization process of PON that led to the development of the NG-PON. The detail literature review of various technologies related to PON and NG-PON has been conducted. Potential drawbacks of NG-PON as well as the advantages and disadvantages of various strategies are also discussed besides the future scope. Meanwhile it offers long haul high bandwidth hybrid scenarios. The futuristic PON networks may be realized for high undersea, satellite, and beyond sixth generation (6G) networks.

Distortion-tolerant on–off keying preemphasis signal transmission for a 10 Gbps indoor visible light communications

11. September 2024

Muppidi Venkata Sudhakar

PDF downloaden

The design and simulation of indoor visible light communication (VLC) system with preemphasis is proposed for 5 m transmission of signal at the data rate of 10 Gbps for receiving only applications like smart TV, smart speaker, and smart home appliance control. The preemphasis driver circuit is designed to reduce the intersymbol interference by pulse shaping the signal and transimpedance amplifier is used to amplify the signal for longer distance transmission. Intensity modulation at the sender side and direct detection at the receiver-side are adopted in this work for the improvement of the system’s overall performance and to decrease its implementation cost. The system performance is analyzed in terms of BER, data-rate, Q-factor, and eye diagrams. The setup is developed, which includes a nonreturn-to-zero (NRZ) generator, preemphasis driver, light-emitting-diode, VLC channel, and receiver with an avalanche photodiode and Gaussian LPF. At 10 Gbps data rate, the maximum transmission distance that can be obtained is 5 m with a BER of less than 10 −31 .

Integrating optical communication in MIMO-OTFS using hybrid signal detection methods: analyzing the throughput and spectrum

6. September 2024

Arun Kumar, Pushpendu Kanjilal, Maganti Syamala, Aziz Nanthaamornphong

PDF downloaden

MIMO-OTFS (multiple input multiple output in orthogonal time-frequency space) modulation is a key component of sophisticated optical radio systems, helping to increase their speed and range. The increased capacity of optical communication can be put to use in a number of applications. In order to minimize latency, we optimize the bit error rate (BER) and power spectral density (PSD) of the framework by applying the hybrid signal detection technique known as zero forcing equalizer and minimal mean square error (ZFE + MMSE) to the MIMO-optical OTFS system (16 × 16, 64 × 64, and 256 × 256) in this article. The suggested ZFE + MMSE works better than the traditional signal detection algorithms, according to the work’s experimental study. Furthermore, without using any detection techniques, the MIMO-OTFS outperforms the MIMO-OFDM by attaining an SNR gain of 1.2–2.3 dB.

Supplantation and utility of aquatic bio-optical communication system at Gulf of Mannar Marine National Park, India

6. September 2024

Ankit Mishra, Chandrashekhar Raghuvanshi, Rajendra Kumar

PDF downloaden

The Gulf of Mannar Marine National Park is famous for shallow water and an affluent diversity of aquatic plants and animals. It preserves the endangered mammals and marine life for global significance. Routine monitoring and surveillance of the fish and aquatic species is necessary without any type of disturbance to the natural environment as a protected area of the marine national park. An aquatic bio-optical communication system is a feasible method for transferring the data from the benthic of the park to the sea surface and terrestrial area using the natural resources and sediments. The physical and geographical conditions near the Ram-Setu bridge and the surrounding area of marine national park have shallow water, low water pressure, low salinity, availability of light at benthic, sediments of limestone, and presence of pumice stones that make it more reliable. The model is based on natural resources like optical light source, deployment of buoys for transceivers, and canals in the stone and will be used for providing messages and warning instructions to the fisherman, pilgrimage tourists, merchant ships, and in patrolling security forces.

Performance analysis of V2V visible light communication systems under diverse scenarios

6. September 2024

Ajit Kumar

PDF downloaden

The present paper analyzes the performance of vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) visible light communication (VLC) systems across various practical scenarios. Metrics including bit error rate (BER), frequency response, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), channel capacity, and time delay are analyzed for three distinct scenarios. Results indicate that inadequate lateral displacement between vehicles of adjacent lanes can significantly impact BER performance. Moreover, frequency response analysis reveals undesirable periodic variations in scenario-2, posing challenges for V2V communication. In the case of non-line-of-sight (NLoS) communication (scenario-3), both longitudinal and lateral displacements exhibit notable impacts across all analyzed metrics.

Enhancing the signal efficiency and PAPR performance of FBMC waveform in optical communication

6. September 2024

Arun Kumar, Tallapragada Durga Naga Satya Srinivasa Sarveswara Rao, A. V. V. Sudhakar, Aziz Nanthaamornphong

PDF downloaden

Filter bank multicarrier (FBMC) has become a favorable option compared to other advanced waveforms because it can reduce interference between symbols and carriers. This is especially advantageous in Rician optical channels prone to frequency-selective fading. The article proposed novel PAPR algorithms based on combining partial transmission sequence (PTS) and complementing methods to lower the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of the optical FBMC. High PAPR results in power amplifier performance degradation, which severely affects the optical FBMC framework’s performance and throughput. Compared to the original signal, the proposed PTS + Companding makes the PAPR much lower while keeping the bit error rate (BER) and power spectral density (PSD). This leads to enhanced efficiency and fewer nonlinear distortions in the transmission system. Simulation studies assess the efficacy of those approaches in terms of PAPR, spectral efficiency, and throughput. The results help improve the use of FBMC in optical communication systems by showing practical ways to boost performance metrics necessary for advanced radio systems to handle the needs of fast data transmission.

Coherent optical-OFDM system’s contribution to the management of chromatic and polarization mode dispersion using DSP

29. August 2024

Cheikh Kherici, Malika Kandouci

PDF downloaden

The CO-OFDM system plays a critical role in managing the effects of polarization mode dispersion (PMD) in optical communications, providing opportunities to optimize performance, durability and polarization state capability. DSP digital compensation is crucial to maintain signal quality, reducing error vector magnitude (EVM) and binary error rate (BER). DSP optimizes transmission, adapts to changing conditions, compensates for chromatic dispersion (CD) and PMD without physical intervention, reducing costs and extending network reach. Using modulations such as 16-QAM and 4-QPSK at 100 Gbps, it is advantageous for data centers and inter-satellite communications. A Python-based DSP model has been proposed to mitigate these effects, significantly improving signal integrity and system performance with a binary error rate (BER)∼10 −4 .

An efficient hybrid spectrum sensing algorithm to enhance the performance of optical NOMA waveforms using 256-QAM

27. August 2024

Himanshu Sharma, Surendra Yadav, Arun Kumar

PDF downloaden

The ever-increasing demand for bandwidth in optical networks necessitates efficient spectrum utilization. To address this challenge, this paper proposes a novel hybrid spectrum sensing algorithm tailored explicitly for 256-QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) optical communication waveforms. The proposed algorithm combines the strengths of energy detection and cyclostationary feature detection to overcome the limitations of individual methods. Energy detection (ED) provides fast and low-complexity sensing, while cyclostationary feature detection offers higher accuracy and sensitivity. First, ED is employed for rapid initial spectrum assessment. Subsequently, matched filter (MF) detection is selectively applied only to frequency bands identified as potentially occupied by primary users based on the energy detection results. This selective approach significantly reduces computational complexity while maintaining high detection accuracy. The results demonstrate significant improvements in detection accuracy, sensitivity, and computational efficiency compared to existing methods. In particular, the hybrid algorithm performs better in scenarios where weak 256-QAM signals coexist with strong primary users, showcasing its effectiveness in dynamic spectrum-sharing applications. This work contributes significantly to optical spectrum sensing by offering an efficient and accurate solution for advanced radio systems. The proposed hybrid algorithm paves the way for improved spectrum utilization and facilitates the development of high-performance, next-generation optical networks. The projected method obtained a gain of −200 as compared with the existing methods.

Splice loss in dual mode triangular index fibers: an analytic approach in the presence of nonlinearity for various V numbers

20. August 2024

Bappa Ditya Biswas, Angshuman Majumdar, Adriza Dhar, Ramkrishna Rakshit

PDF downloaden

We report mathematical techniques for determining the coefficient of transmission at the splice, where anomalies like transverse and angular are present. The investigation involves the first mode of higher order (LP 11 ) in Kerr pattern nonlinear fiber. In this case, the LP 11 mode for the triangular index (TI) profile is calculated using a standard power series. Chebyshev formalism is the source of the aforementioned term. When there is third-order nonlinearity (TON), the iteration approach is utilized on the analytical mathematical terms to obtain the characteristics listed above. It has been demonstrated that our findings closely match the simulated exact outcomes obtained with the complex finite element method (FEM). Consequently, the suggested straightforward and precise technique offers enormous promise for investigating alternative propagation characteristics in dual-mode fibers.

Nonlinearity-tolerant transmission using modified phase-conjugate twin wave for M-PSK signals

20. August 2024

Xiaogang Tong, Wei Huang, Weiwei Cao, Junsheng Zhang, Xiaojuan Zhang, Haifeng Zhou, Yangyang Liu

PDF downloaden

Using modified phase-conjugate twin wave (M-PCTW) scheme, in which additional information bits are modulated one of the conjugated wave, is helpful to increase the spectral efficiency (SE) of the conventional PCTW scheme. In this paper, we show that the phase modulated formats, but not the conventional square QAM formats are more suitable to M-PCTW scheme. Results of 1600 km nonlinear transmission show that for polarization multiplexed (PM) 8-PSK format, performance improvement from M-PCTW is about 3.3 dB, while it is about 2.2 dB for PM 8-QAM formats. For PM 16-PSK (QAM) modulation, performance improvement from M-PCTW is about 3.4 dB and 1.6 dB, respectively.

Visible light communication optical FBMC-OQAM PAPR reduction using FHT-PTR algorithm for beyond 5G system

19. August 2024

Nidhi Gour, Surendra Yadav, Arun Kumar

PDF downloaden

This paper addresses the reduction of peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) in optical filter bank multicarrier (FBMC) with offset quadrature amplitude modulation (OQAM) using a fast Hadamard transform (FHT) centered partial transmit sequence (PTS) algorithm. High PAPR in FBMC-OQAM systems can cause non-linear distortions in optical transmitters, such as LEDs, leading to signal degradation. The proposed FHT-PTS algorithm effectively mitigates this issue by dividing the data symbols into disjoint subsets, applying phase rotations, and performing inverse FHT to generate multiple candidate sequences. The sequence with the lowest PAPR is selected for transmission. This technique ensures significant PAPR reduction while maintaining acceptable bit error rate (BER) performance. Simulation results demonstrate that the FHT-PTS algorithm achieves substantial PAPR reduction gain of 3 dB–6 dB compared to conventional PTS and other existing methods. The power spectrum density (PSD) analysis shows that the spectral efficiency of the FBMC-OQAM system is preserved, with minimal out-of-band emissions. The FHT operations significantly reduce the complexity compared to traditional Fourier transform-based methods, making the algorithm more feasible for real-time applications.

Review on Wavelength Division Multiplexing Free Space Optics

3. März 2018

S. Magidi, A. Jabeena

PDF downloaden

Wavelength division multiplexing-based free space optics (WDM FSO) has emerged as a potential communication network candidate for last-mile access among other applications. FSO has received much attention in the last few years as a complement as well as an alternative to radio frequency-based communication due to spectrum crisis among other reasons. On the other hand, WDM has been considered as one of the next-generation optical access network candidates for bandwidth efficiency and increased data rates. A hybrid network of these two technologies thus has emerged as another research direction. In this article, we present the background, progress and the current state of WDM FSO.

29. November 2017

Sanjeev Kumar Raghuwanshi, Ritesh Kumar, Akash Srivastava, Nimish Kumar Srivastava

PDF downloaden

A completely photonic approach to generate a arbitrary microwave waveform having chirp nature is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. A chirp signal may be defined as the signal whose frequency increases or decreases with respect time. Signal may have arbitrary shape, it may be sinusoidal wave, triangular wave, or may have some other wave shape. Chirp signal is used to identify the pattern of moving signal having deterministic nature. In this paper an arbitrary chirped microwave waveform has been generated experimentally by using four c-band lased schemes. The chirp microwave waveform can be used in Radar system to improve its range Doppler resolution. The paper give the specific details about various performance parameters like input signal frequency and power, output signal parameters viz output frequency, chirp rate, chirp bandwidth, time bandwidth product (TBWP), etc. The overall model and its performance parameters are computed through experimental setup.
