Abstract
An advanced triple-play-services (TPS) system based on probabilistic shaping (PS) scheme for free- space-optical (FSO) communication network is proposed and experimentally demonstrated for the first time. In this paper, the PS-32-quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) 10 Gb/s data, PS-32-QAM 10 Gb/s voice and PS based 2.5 Gb/s HDTV signal are successfully transmitted over 600-m FSO link employing doublet lens scheme. The PS and polarization multiplexing technique both are helped to upgrade the spectral efficiency and improve the system performance. Normalized-generalized-mutual-information (NGMI) threshold is 0.92 at FEC code rate 9/10 for voice/data and 0.82 at FEC code rate 4/5 for video signal are selected to successfully execute the experiment. The spectral efficiency of our system is achieved by calculating the NGMI and shaping parameter (α), 13.6 bits/s/Hz (voice and data) and 10.41 bits/s/Hz (video) spectral efficiency are obtained at maximum α. Experimental results prove that PS based FSO communication system provides flexible data rate and greater spectrum efficiency and also be a powerful candidate to alleviate pressure on modern optical transport system.
