Abstract

This study presents the modeling of a terrestrial free-space optics (FSO) transmission system that integrates mode division multiplexing (MDM) with dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM). A total of 32 laser channels, operating within the frequency range of 193.1 THz to 196.2 THz, are utilized. The channels are spaced apart by 100 GHz. Each wavelength channel employs two spatial Hermite-Gaussian (HG) modes, specifically and . These modes are responsible for transmitting 10-Gbps of non-return-to-zero data. The transmission takes place over a free-space channel, even in challenging weather conditions. The system's net transmission speed is 640 Gbps. The FSO system is assessed for its performance under several weather conditions, including clear, rain, haze, and fog using simulative analysis. The metrics used for evaluation are the signal-to-noise ratio, received power, and eye diagrams. The findings exhibit consistent transmission at a speed of 640 Gbps over a range of 800 meters to 6 kilometers, with dependable performance metrics.
