Abstract
This work introduces an integrated single-mode fiber, free space and visible light communication links in next-generation passive optical network (PON) enabled orthogonal frequency division multiplexing as well as optical code division multiplexing. The results reveal reliable fiber, FSO and VLC range of 100 km, 2800 m and 20 m, respectively, at an aggregate data rate of 2Tbpsunder critical climate and turbulence. Also, it offers acceptable power penalties of 1-2 dB with maximum power budgets of -26 dBm and -39 dBm receiver sensitivity with 12 dB insertion loss. The comparative literature underscores its advantage over other designs in terms of code implementation and overall design.
