Abstract The demand for large bandwidth and high data rates in communication systems has become the main cause of the upgrade of traditional networks into free space optical (FSO) technology. FSO technology has gained significant popularity due to its easy deployment, high data rates, abundant bandwidth, enhanced security, and license-free spectrum utilization. However, the performance of FSO communication systems can be affected by certain limiting factors, such as changes in weather conditions during data transmission. To overcome these challenges and improve FSO performance, various modulation techniques are employed. This article presents a concise overview of the FSO communication system, highlighting different modulation techniques used to enhance its performance, as well as discussing its advantages, applications, and existing challenges. Some advanced modulation formats which are recently introduced in the field of FSO communication such as QPSK, DP-QPSK, QAM, and OFDM are also made part of this paper.

Abstract The pursuit of ultra-low latency is a pivotal goal in advancing the capabilities of optical non-orthogonal multiple access sixth generation (O-NOMA-6G) waveforms. This study explores the application of maximum likelihood (ML) and expectation-maximization (EM) techniques to mitigate latency in optical communication systems. ML offers direct parameter estimation for rapid symbol detection, while EM addresses latency through iterative estimation of hidden variables and parameters. By leveraging the benefits of both techniques, this research proposes novel latency reduction approaches in optical 6G. The investigation encompasses theoretical analysis, simulation, and performance evaluation under Rician and Rayleigh channel conditions for different parameters such as bit error rate (BER), power spectral density (PSD) and peak to average power density (PSD). Simulation results demonstrate that ML and EM effectively reduce latency, and enable seamless integration of time-sensitive applications in optical 6G networks as compared with the conventional ML and ML methods. The outcomes of this study provide valuable insights into throughput and PSD enhancement contributing to the realization of ultra-responsive and O-NOMA 6G waveform.

Abstract In this paper, we present the development of coplanar waveguide to rectangular waveguide (CPW-WG) transition for broadband millimetre wave applications. The traditional approach for interfacing of components in pure electronics is not possible to implement in micorwave photonics at high frequency range due to some limitations like rigidity and increased loss. In order to overcome this problem, transition structures are usually designed within the waveguide model through split block mechanism. The models developed so far are complex with minimum space of interconnects and less stable due to vertical placement of waveguide. The waveguide structure proposed in this paper is placed along horizontal direction due to which stability of structure is increased and has more space for interconnects. The transition model is designed using indium phosphide (InP) to increase the efficiency and reduce the propagation loss at high frequency range. The simulated design can operate over a bandwidth of 14 GHz with a return loss of 10 dB.

Abstract In this paper, the impact of polarization mode dispersion (PMD) on system performance in coherent optical transmission assisted by optical phase conjugation (OPC) technique is numerically investigated for a 9-channel PM-4QAM system at 128Gbit/s. The OPC-aided transmission, amplified with lumped erbium doped fiber amplifier (EDFA), is a variation of the conventional dispersion-managed link, which is also called dispersion-inverted link. We demonstrate that introducing more OPCs along the link can partly suppress the PMD-induced impairments and thus improve the system performance significantly. Results of 960-km dispersion-managed transmission show that PMD effect will cause a performance penalty of 1.8 dB when using mid-link OPC (i.e., only 1-OPC), while this penalty will decrease to about 0.4 dB when employing 6-OPCs along the link. Comparing with conventional digital back-propagation (DBP) technique, a performance improvement of about 3.1 dB is observed with multi-OPCs when fiber PMD is equal to 0.1ps/ km $sqrt{km}$ .
摘要本文以128Gbit/s速率的9通道PM-4QAM系统为研究对象,研究了偏振模色散(PMD)对光学相位共轭(OPC)技术辅助下相干光传输系统性能的影响。opc辅助传输采用集总掺铒光纤放大器(EDFA)进行放大,是传统色散管理链路的一种变体,也称为色散反向链路。我们证明,在链路上引入更多的opc可以部分抑制pmd引起的损伤,从而显着提高系统性能。960公里色散管理传输的结果表明,当使用中间链路OPC(即仅使用1-OPC)时,PMD效应将导致1.8 dB的性能损失,而当沿链路使用6-OPC时,这种损失将减少到约0.4 dB。与传统的数字反向传播(DBP)技术相比,当光纤PMD = 0.1ps/ km $sqrt{km}$时,多opcs的性能提高了约3.1 dB。

Abstract Free space optical (FSO) communication link is highly weather dependent as the signal passes through the atmospheric channel. The main impairment is atmospheric turbulence, which introduces fading and breakdown the system performance. The performance of FSO link is evaluated in terms of attenuation and link length under different weather conditions. Taking a step further toward the improvement of FSO communication system, wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) is widely used in optical fiber in order to exploit the capacity of a fiber channel more efficiently. Additionally, multiple input multiple output (MIMO) mechanism represents one of the atmospheric mitigation techniques. Thus, integration of MIMO and WDM will provide astonishing results in FSO communication systems. This paper particularly focuses on analyzing the performance of FSO single input single output (FSO-SISO), FSO-WDM, FSO-MIMO, and FSO-WDM-MIMO systems considering different weather conditions. Performance of the different systems has also been compared in terms of received signal power, the quality factor, the bit error rate, and the maximum separation between the transmitter and the receiver for a given received signal level and for various atmospheric conditions. Our results show that increasing the transmitted power and receiver aperture diameter will improve the performance of the system under heavy fog and dense fog.

Abstract We report the theoretical prediction of the coupling optics involving a laser diode and photonic crystal fiber which contains on its tip cylindrical microlens. The analysis is based on relevant ABCD matrix formalism. Though photonic crystal fiber has very large single-mode region, we carry on the investigation for two commonly used wavelengths such as 1.3 µm and 1.5 µm. For the particular kind of photonic crystal having specific value of air filling ratio and hole pitch, we have optimized the distance of laser diode from the microlens in order to get maximum value of coupling efficiency for each value of radius of cylindrical microlens. Incidentally, we have got here maximum coupling efficiency to the extent of 86.99 % at the wavelength 1.3 µm when the radius of the cylindrical microlens is 8.5 µm and effective spot size of the fiber is 4.433909 µm. Further, the maximum efficiency becomes 91.78 % at 1.3 µm when the radius of the cylindrical microlens is 4.0 µm and effective spot size of the fiber is 1.859907 µm. It has been shown that wavelength 1.5 µm is not so coupling efficient like 1.3 µm. Moreover, it has been shown that with same set of relevant parameters, PCF is more coupling efficient compared to ordinary graded index fiber. Thus the present work generates scope for varying different photonic crystal fiber parameters and the wavelengths of source as well for enhancing the coupling efficiency. Accordingly, the present analysis will be extremely helpful for design of efficient coupler of this kind.
