Maximizing Data Reliability: Optimizing MZM Modulator Encoding Schemes for Four-Channel FSO Communication

Problem Definition

The existing literature on Free Space Optical (FSO) communication systems highlights various modulation schemes proposed by researchers to combat attenuation issues. However, these methods suffer from limitations that hinder their overall performance. One major drawback is the limited data carrying capacity of conventional models, which negatively impacts their efficiency. Additionally, the speed of data transmission between locations poses a significant challenge that needs to be addressed for optimal system performance. Moreover, the impact of varying weather conditions on FSO efficiency cannot be overlooked, as existing models struggle to maintain data transmission over long distances under different weather scenarios.

These factors collectively contribute to an increased Bit Error Rate (BER) and system complexity, underscoring the need for a novel modulation scheme that can alleviate these limitations and enhance overall system efficiency.

Objective

The objective of the proposed work is to develop a new modulation scheme for Free-Space Optical (FSO) communication systems that can enhance performance under adverse weather conditions. This includes introducing Spectrum Slicing WDM with 4 channels for heavy rain weather and an extended 8-16 channels WDM system for fog, haze, and rain weather conditions. By integrating advanced modulation schemes such as DQPSK and Manchester, the goal is to reduce complexity, error ratio, and improve efficiency in FSO communication systems. The project aims to analyze different encoding schemes, simulate the Mach-Zehnder modulator in FSO systems, and design an effective MZM-based encoding scheme for a 4-channel FSO system. Additionally, the impact of rain attenuation on FSO communication for different seasons will be studied to optimize signal transmission and reception.

Ultimately, the objective is to enhance Inter-Satellite Optical Wireless Communication systems and contribute to the advancement of FSO technology.
