| Summary: | Free space optical (FSO) networking has
emerged as a promising technology for bridging the last mile
gap in current high-rate fibre networks as well as for high-rate
next-generation broadband wireless communication networks.
This paper theoretically investigates the performance of the
Free Space Optic system under rainy weather conditions using
Optisystem software. Quality factor and eye-diagram analysis
are used to analyse the FSO performance for several rain
intensity and precipitation, following the Carbonneau model
for rain attenuation. The results show that the link is
completely lost when the distances are at 1.5 km, 1.2 km, and
0.8 km for light rain, moderate rain, and heavy rain,
respectively. An optical amplifier is then introduced to improve
the system performances and increase the signal intensity,
which helps to mitigate the atmospheric effects easily. As a
result, data transmission is sustained without interruptions,
and overall connectivity is enhanced. Results show that the
transmission range improves up to several meters, specifically
under moderate rain weather condition when using the optical
amplifier gain is applied. |
