Abstract
In this paper, we propose a novel mode division multiplexing (MDM) based FSO transmission system incorporating polarization shift keying (PolSK) to enhance the information carrying capacity of the system. Using numerical simulations, we report the transmission of two independent 40 Gbps information signals using distinct Laguerre Gaussian modes up to an FSO transmission reach of 90 km under the influence of clear environmental conditions using the proposed system. Further, the influence of different environmental conditions such as rain, haze, and fog on the performance of the proposed link using bit error rate as performance metrics has also been investigated in this paper. Also, we report a comparative analysis of PolSK and on–off keying modulation formats in the proposed MDM-FSO link under the same environmental conditions. The simulation results show that under different weather conditions, PolSK based MDM-FSO transmission system demonstrates better performance.
