Abstract An FSO system can provide a solution to the problem of last-mile connectivity while also offering a high degree of security and a large capacity for high-speed information transmission, making it a versatile and powerful option for data communication. Despite the above-mentioned advantages, some factors have to be considered when establishing long-range communication, one such factor is atmospheric turbulence (haze, light fog, moderate fog) which degrades the ideal characteristics of the FSO channel and causes a loss in the signal’s power. This loss of power during transmission can be improved by using suitable amplifiers (hybrid optical amplifier, semiconductor optical amplifier) to provide better performance. The next-generation networks must be capable of supporting a significant amount of backhaul data traffic, accommodating a larger number of users, and increasing channel capacity to meet the demands of modern data communication. By implementing wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) and free space optical (FSO) communication techniques, the capacity of the channel can be increased, and more users can be accommodated. The maximum link length offered by the FSO–WDM system has been investigated with hybrid optical amplifier considering the minimum bit error rate, which can provide reliable and long-distance communication.

Abstract Data centers serve as dedicated facilities for housing computer systems and their related components, including telecommunications and storage systems. They typically have high levels of security and environmental controls to ensure that the equipment housed within them functions optimally. Data center networks (DCNs) often employ load balancing algorithms to handle large volumes of traffic and ensure that all servers and switches are utilized equally, keeping the network running smoothly. However, as load on the server varies, therefore dynamic traffic management systems that can adjust traffic flow in real-time based on the current traffic state is required. This study presents an artificial neural network-based load balancing method. By training a feed-forward artificial neural network (ANN) using a back propagation (BP) learning algorithm, it evenly distributes workload over all of the nodes. Simulation results are also presented to prove the usefulness of the proposed load balancing mechanism. It is found that the load balancing scheme can reduce the packet blocking probability (PBP) by 10 folds and delay by about nearly 11 percent.

Abstract Free Space Optical (FSO) communication systems, offering high-speed and high-bandwidth transmission, have emerged as a possible substitute for conventional wired and wireless communication systems. However, FSO links are susceptible to atmospheric deficiencies including attenuation, scintillation, and turbulence, which may severely impact the performance of the communication link. In this research paper, we propose and analyze the performance of a 25 Gbps dual-polarization quadrature phase shift keying (DP-QPSK) coherent optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (CO-OFDM)-based FSO communication link with spatial diversity technique under various climatic conditions in four different geographical locations of India, i.e., Delhi, Ahmedabad, Kolkata, and Chennai in the year 2021. The proposed FSO communication system is evaluated through performance analysis and parametric evaluation under various weather conditions such as clear sky, fog, haze, rain, cloud, and thermal gradient. Key performance metrics such as bit error rate (BER), Q-factor, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), received power, communication range, and reliability are analyzed based on the simulation results. The proposed FSO communication system provides high data rates, improved power efficiency, better resilience to atmospheric impairments, reliable communication links under different weather conditions, and a practical solution for high-speed and high-bandwidth communication in various applications.

Abstract The automotive industry is on the verge of embracing autonomous vehicles in the near future. In the pursuit of developing self-driving cars, photonic radars have emerged as a reliable sensor technology. These radars operate based on free space optical channels, but they are vulnerable to various atmospheric challenges. In this research, the objective is to examine the effect of material reflectivity on target recognition by utilizing photonic radar under various atmospheric conditions within free space optical channels. We explore four distinct scenarios representing targets with reflectivity ranging from 90 % to 20 %. The findings of this study indicate a decrease in received signal strength as reflectivity decreases across all analysed atmospheric conditions. The key findings include successful detection of stationary targets at a 1000-m range, the impact of target reflectivity on echo signal intensity and resolution, and the system’s effective performance in detecting targets even in dense fog conditions of up to 50 dB/km and are further validated through theoretical analysis.

Abstract This paper investigates the channel state information (CSI) conditions in visible light non-orthogonal multiple access (VL-NOMA) using the power allocation technique (PA) for a sixth-generation (6G) network. One light-emitting diode (LED) is used as a carrier to transmit the signal to three-user-positioned at certain distances. The challenge of allocating power to the system is solved using the PA technique. The PA technique uses to assign signal powers to the three users. The VL-NOMA channel with CSI symbols is synchronized for the performance of signal propagation. We deployed perfect CSI, imperfect CSI, and partial CSI to coordinate the signal enhancement that results in an improved data rate, higher channel capacity, and improved signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The synchronized system model guarantees successful signal enhancement where perfect CSI performs better than partial CSI and imperfect CSI. We have enabled interference plus noise to see how the system behaves. We notice low channel capacity region, low data rate performance, etc. Hence, we analyse the PA to determine the outage probability effect on the signal.

Abstract Free Space optics (FSO) has gained significant interest in recent years due to its ability to provide a more secure communication connection than conventional radio links, being relatively inexpensive compared to other wireless systems, and the fact that it operates without any interference from other wireless devices. FSO also has a downside in its susceptibility to certain environmental conditions, which can degrade the quality of the connection by absorbing, scattering, and refracting the optical beams. This paper discusses the rain attenuation effect on RGB image transmission through an FSO communication system. The study uses different metrics to analyze system performance and suggests increasing transmission power to improve performance during heavy rainfall. The findings suggest that for medium and heavy rain, an improvement in maximum link distances of 490 m and 340 m, respectively, is obtained as the transmission power increases to 15 mW. The paper also proposes a spatial domain image restoration technique to enhance image quality at the receiver using the median and wiener filters. Results show that the proposed solutions increase the communication range of the FSO link by 320 m and 205 m for moderate and heavy rain, respectively, when the transmitting power is about 10 mW.

Abstract Optical fibers are a key inventive discovery that contributed to the digital revolution, although cost becomes a major factor for long-distance communication. Whereas passive optical networks (PONs) offer reduced costs and cater to multiple users; hence, they are becoming more common in LANs, densely inhabited areas, and backbone networks. Numerous experiments on PON systems have been authored in the last couple of years, with results expressed in terms of BER, eye openings, quality of received bits factor, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and burst blocking, which demands a vast review of PONs based on these parameters. So, a comprehensive review of PONs is extensively researched to identify the methods’ limitations. Along with long-reach(LR)-PON systems, power conservation in PONs and burst contention are also addressed. To demonstrate the performance of PON architectures, the findings are provided in terms of delay, energy efficiency, and operations intensity.

Abstract This study presents a comprehensive analysis of the throughput performance, spectrum efficiency, and block error rate (BLER) of optical non-orthogonal multiple access (O-NOMA) waveforms using 16-quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), 64-QAM, and 256-QAM modulation schemes. The aim is to assess the trade-offs between data rate, spectral efficiency, and error performance in O-NOMA systems. The analysis reveals that higher-order modulations, such as 64-QAM and 256-QAM, offer higher data rates and improved spectrum efficiency compared to 16-QAM. Furthermore, the study investigates the spectrum performance of the O-NOMA waveforms. The results indicate that higher-order modulations may utilise the spectrum more efficiently, maximising the data throughput within the available bandwidth. Moreover, the BLER analysis provides insights into the error performance of the O-NOMA waveforms. It quantifies the probability of errors occurring in a block of transmitted data and evaluates the system’s reliability. The analysis reveals that 256-QAM O-NOMA achieves lower BLER and high throughput in uplink and downlink as compared with the 16 and 64-QAM O-NOMA frameworks.

Abstract In this article, the comb wavelength division multiplexing passive optical network (Comb WDM-PON) system has been simulated. Simulation models were created in VPI photonics. The proposed system employs 140 Gbps for seven comb lines. Analytical modelling and simulations are performed for a flat comb source with seven comb lines, variable channel spacing, and a center wavelength. As a result, the performance of the comb WDM-PON system that utilizes a single differential Mach–Zehnder (DiffMZ) modulator comb source is also investigated using different comb line numbers. The total capacity of the system increases as the number of comb lines increases. However, the system performance is degraded. Data rates of 80 Gbit/s can be achieved at the threshold bit error rate of BER (1 × 10−9), over a transmission distance of 200 km using 4 comb lines with a multi-diagonal (MD) code for 4 OLTs.

Abstract Mode filtering technique is one of the most desired techniques in optical fiber communication systems, especially for multiple input multiple output (MIMO) coherent optical communications that have mode-dependent losses in communication channels. In this work, a special type of optical fiber sensing head was used, where it utilizes DCF13 that is made by Thorlabs and has two numerical apertures (NA’s). One is for core and 1st cladding region, while the 2nd relates the 1st cladding to the 2nd cladding. Etching process using 40 % hydro-fluoric (HF) acid was performed on the DCF13 with variable time in minutes. Investigation of the correlation between the degree of etching and the refractive index (RI) profile of double-clad fibers for low order linearly polarized (LP) modes is the focus of this work research. The used software programs to simulate the effect of etching are Comsol Multi-Physics V6 and Optigrating V4.2.2. It is seen that the optimum case that gave highest cladding power to core power ratio is the case of etching for 10 min, which can be used for detection applications. This ratio greatly affects the sensitivity of the system.
