Abstract
Abstract In this article, the authors analyse the performance of the “multiple input multiple output (MIMO)” technique on a free space optical (FSO) communication link using the mid wavelength infrared (MWIR) and commonly used short wavelength infrared (SWIR) in the presence of various visibility conditions like clear weather, light haze, dense haze, fog, etc., and strong turbulence regime. A 5 km link range has been considered with different diversity MIMO schemes. The performance analysis has been made for both wavelengths in terms of bit error rate (BER) and link outage probability. As the MIMO diversity is increased, the performance has been improved compared to the single input single output (SISO) scheme. In the presence of foggy conditions and higher turbulence strength, the MWIR wavelength works properly, whereas the SWIR wavelength has not worked for the same signal to noise (SNR) ratio and the same link distance.
