Free Space Optical Communication Systems: Associate Professor, Department of ECE, Amritsar College of Engineering & Technology, Amritsar, Punjab, India (FSO-2017)

Free Space Optics (FSO) is a promising optical technology that has a great chance to compliment the traditional wireless communications, through provision of high bandwidth, excellent security and reaching places where cable technology could never reach. Quality of FSO links however is greatly affected by weather conditions and link distance. Free Space Optics (FSO) is a very fast and reliable endorsement to radio links using light to transmit data. In this book, the characteristics and properties of several important design parameters of FSO communication systems are discussed in detail and the study is based on the proposed FSO link for the outdoor use in FSO system and the detailed discussion of the parameters which are the major concern in evaluation of the link performance degradation by the atmospheric turbulences are being presented in this book. Further In this book, analysis of FSO link is based on the simulated free space optics link by varying input power, data rates and link distance for different modulation formats. We have used different modulation schemes like NRZ and RZ, etc. The two different wavelengths such as 1550 nm and 1310 nm are used in the FSO link design and implementation.
