Abstract
In this research, the performance of a 2 2, 3 3, and 4 4 optical multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) transmission-based radio
over free space optics (RoFSO) link using mode division multiplexing (MDM) technique is reported. The link performance is
evaluated and compared for non-return to zero (NRZ), differential phase-shift keying (DPSK), and alternate mark inversion
(AMI) modulation over varying range of FSO link. Modulation schemes performance has been compared employing the
received signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) as the performance metrics. The results exhibit that the DPSK modulation scheme
performs the best, followed by AMI and NRZ scheme for all MIMO-MDM-based RoFSO systems. Effective transmission of
40Gbps-80GHz information in clear weather conditions over a 16 km FSO link range with appropriate SNR (> 20 dB) was
demonstrated in the MDM-RoFSO transmission system which is based on DPSK modulation. This is a major improvement
in information capacity and connectivity compared to previously reported literature.
