Abstract

Free space optics (FSO) is a non-line of sight (NLoS) technique for providing ubiquitous digital services, especially in sectors where the frequency allocation is pretty tight and not practically possible to accommodate all the users. In this work, we have designed a model that transmits four independent modes (HG00, HG01, LG00, and LG10) carrying pseudo-random bit sequence multiplexed into a single free space channel and studied under the subject of various attenuation and link length values. We found the HG family outperforming the LG family by having ~7.7% lower bit error rate (BER), and 4% higher Q-factor for 18 dB/km attenuation at 600 m link range.
