Abstract

Abstract A comprehensive design is proposed for alternate mark inversion (AMI)-encoded free-space optical (FSO) communication system by hybridizing polarization division multiplexing (PDM) with wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) and its performance is investigated under diverse weather conditions. The WDM transmitter comprises eight channels transmitting 320 Gbps data over the atmospheric turbulent channel considering gamma–gamma (G–G) distribution for the FSO channel model. A PDM-WDM technique not only maximizes the link capacity of the FSO system but also enhances the spectral efficiency (SE) of the system. Besides, the proposed hybrid AMI-PDM-WDM FSO system performance is compared with the traditional AMI-WDM-PDM and AMI-WDM models to demonstrate the advantages of our proposed model for the design of FSO link. It is observed that our proposed hybrid system exhibits excellent performance under diverse weather conditions over the traditional models in terms of Q factor, received optical power, bit error rate (BER), eye diagrams and optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR).
