The objective of this paper is to analyse and present the latest results obtained for free-space optics (FSO) within the EU COST Action IC-0802 and within the European Space Agency (ESA) contract. First, the FSO technology is briefly discussed and some performance evaluation criteria for FSO are provided. Some optical signal propagation experiments through the atmosphere (including the recent investigations...
This paper shows the impact of atmospheric turbulence-induced fading on the symbol decision position in the on-off keying (OOK) and the binary phase shift keying (BPSK) subcarrier intensity modulated (SIM) laser communication link. Weak turbulence is simulated in the laboratory using a chamber equipped with heating elements and fans. We have shown that in atmospheric turbulence, it is advantageous...
In this work, the performance of subcarrier intensity modulated terrestrial free-space optical communication link is analysed in the presence of noise and atmospheric turbulence induced fading. To ameliorate channel fading we propose subcarrier time delay diversity (TDD) in which delayed versions of the original data are retransmitted on different subcarriers. The most efficient TDD is obtained with...
In this paper a DPSK subcarrier intensity modulated (SIM) free space optical (FSO) link is considered in negative exponential atmospheric turbulence environment. To mitigate the scintillation effect the selection combining spatial diversity scheme (SelC) is employed at the receiver. Bit error rate (BER) analysis is presented with and without SelC spatial diversity, and it is shown that at BER of 10-6...
