Free space optical communications system performance under atmospheric scattering and turbulence for 850 and 1550 nm operation, 2016
In this work, a free space optical communications (FSO) link is proposed and utilized to explore and evaluate the FSO link performance under the joint occurrence of the atmospheric scattering and turbulence phenomena for 850 and 1550 nm operation. Diffraction and non diffraction-limited systems are presented and evaluated for both wavelengths' operation, considering far-field conditions under different link distances. Bit error rate, pointing error angles, beam divergence angles, and link distance are the main performance indicators that are used to evaluate and compare the link performance under different system configurations and atmospheric phenomena combinations. A detailed study is performed to provide the merits of this work. For both far-field diffraction-limited and non diffraction-limited systems, it is concluded that 1550 nm system operation is better than 850 nm for the whole presented joint occurrences of atmospheric scattering and turbulence.
Atmospheric Effects on Satellite–Ground Free Space Uplink and Downlink Optical Transmissions
Applied Sciences
Free space optical (FSO) communications have the potential to be one of the most essential technologies for solving the high-bandwidth demands of communications between satellites and ground stations. In this study, we examine the impact of the atmosphere on satellite–ground FSO uplink and downlink communications. To consider diverse atmospheric conditions on both uplink and downlink, we derive FSO channel elements such as the fog attenuation coefficient, refractive index parameter, coherence length, turbulence model, and angle-of-arrival fluctuation. Unlike conventional work, we provide FSO channel analysis based on variations in the Fried parameter, zenith angle, scintillation index, and Rytov variance. Using simulation results from the optical settings, we examine the influence on channel performance of conditions such as atmospheric attenuation and intensity fluctuation. Based on this examination, we determine that 1550 nm is the preferred wavelength for both uplink and downlink...
