Abstract

This research work reports the modeling of an integrated mode-division-multiplexing (MDM) dense-wavelength-divisionmultiplexing (DWDM)-based terrestrial free-space-optics (FSO) transmission system. 16 independent laser channels ranging from 193.1 THz – 194.6 THz with a channel spacing of 100 GHz, with each wavelength channel utilizing two spatial Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) modes (LG0,0 and LG0,20), each transporting 10-Gbps of non-return-to-zero data are multiplexed and transmitted over free-space channel under complex weather conditions. The net transmission speed of the system is 320-Gbps. Using simulative analysis, the reported FSO link is evaluated for clear, rain, haze, and fog weather conditions using signal-to-noise-ratio and eye diagrams as the metrics for performance evaluation. The reported results demonstrate reliable 320-Gbps transmission along FSO range of 780 m – 6 km with reliable performance metrics.
