Abstract

This paper investigates the outage performance of polarization shift keying (PolSK) based multihop parallel relay assisted free space optics (FSO) system over a strong atmospheric turbulence channel with misalignment fading. An exact closed form expression is derived for the end-to-end outage probability of the system. The results are compared with the direct transmission and on-off keying (OOK) based FSO systems. The results indicate that the performance of the PolSK based relay-assisted FSO system is much better than the direct transmission and OOK systems. The outage performance is enhanced by increasing the number of relay path between the transmitter and receiver.
