The best cost-effective method of lowering the cost per transmitted bit is an increase in transmission symbol rate as well as the order of quadrature amplitude modulation. Specifically, upcoming transponders aim to accommodate data rates up to 1 Tb/s using super-channels due to the bandwidth limitations of electrical components.Throughput can also be increased by a flexible-grid architecture by closing spectral gaps in the available optical spectrum. The distance and transmission module is introduced in the work; it chooses the appropriate modulation depending on the distance. Specifically, a 1 Tbps super-channel with four subcarriers, each one modulated with PM-32QAM at a Baud rate of 33 G-Bd per carrier, has been used. By using the Nyquist filter, the subcarrier spacing for PM-32QAM has been set to 37.5 GHz, which enables 32 × 1.0 Tbps super-channels overall over C-band and could lead to a 32.0 Tb/s C-band capacity. For PM-32 QAM,which is observed, the required optical signal-to-noise ratio at the forward error correction threshold is 5.4 dB. Erbium-Doped Fibre Amplified (EDFA) Single Mode Fiber has been used to achieve a transmission range of 750 km for PM-32 QAM modulated super-channels.

... As a future technology, CCIS design implementation could be considered feasible. Low-priced broadband sources that are incoherent (i.e., ASE and LEDs) with the incorporation of simple optical filters for wavelength assignment make them applicable for SAC [24,25]. Similarly, the power output of a CW laser does not change over an averaged period, and large frequency power variations with minimum effect in any class of applications tend to make it an efficient source but a costly option [23]. ...

This paper is devoted to evaluating the combined coherent and incoherent sources (CCIS) technique for different applications in the optical domain and future optical code division multiple access (OCDMA) networks. Spectral amplitude coding (SAC) has gained significant attention in optical processing systems due to its increased capabilities in dealing with multiple-access interference (MAI) efficiently. Fixed right shift (FRS) is adopted as a signature code in this study. Furthermore, performance analysis is studied in terms of bit error rate (BER) for the system using CCIS in both the free space optics (FSO) and sky mesh network using an aerial altitude platform system (AAPS). Simulation results confirmed that a CCIS design significantly improves system performance with moderate cost. An acceptable BER value of 10−9 at 1.25 Gbps data rate and 60 km, 38 km, and 6 km distances for the laser, CCIS, and LED sources, respectively, can be supported. In particular, at Q-factor ~4.5, the FSO ranges under low haze, moderate haze, and heavy haze are, respectively, 3.7 km, 2.5 km, and 1.5 km. The reason is that a CCIS design causes an increase in the effective transmitted power. It can be summarized that a CCIS design can provide reliable solutions and an affordable cost for future optical fiber and wireless network applications.

A novel free space optics (FSO) system is introduced in this article by combining orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) with spectral amplitude coding optical code division multiple access (SAC-OCDMA) to be implemented in 5G technology and smart cities. Enhanced double-weight (EDW) codes are used as signature codes, while for the detection technique, single photodiode detection (SPD) is applied for the SAC-OCDMA system. OFDM with a four-quadrature amplitude modulation (4-QAM) scheme is assigned to the three users in the SAC-OCDMA system, each carrying 15 Gbps. Adverse weather conditions, such as clear, fog, haze, rain, and dust storm, that affect the FSO channel are considered. The performance of the proposed system is evaluated in terms of log of bit error rate and received power at different propagation distances. The simulation results show successful transmission of 3 × 15 Gbps with a propagation range of 3.45 km under clear air and 1.316, 1.045, and 0.7 km under rain conditions (light, medium, and heavy rain) with a received power of −12.6 dBm. As for haze conditions, the range and received power are 2.391 km with −13 dBm for low haze, 1.591 km with −12.7 dBm for medium haze, and 1.025 km with −12.6 dBm for heavy haze. The range is reduced and becomes 1.085, 0.784, and 0.645 km under fog conditions (light, medium, and heavy fog) with −12.6 dBm received power. Furthermore, the system achieved a range of 0.681, 0.232, and 0.102 km under dust conditions (light, medium, and heavy dust) with a received power of −16 dBm.

After thorough optical characterization of the indium-tin-oxide (ITO)-plasmonic material, a V-shaped ITO based highly efficient electro-absorption modulator (EAM) is designed, simulated, and proposed with 220 nm and 350 nm waveguide height to meet the explosive demand for miniature photonic integrated circuits (PICs) and high-speed optical communication systems. Comsol Multiphysics-based rigorous finite-element-method (FEM) is used for optimizing the geometrical structure of the EAMs, i.e. V-shape and various dimensions for 1550 nm operating wavelength supporting single mode transverse magnetic (TM) polarized light. The simulated results of the V-shaped ITO-plasmonic material based EAMs show an enhanced performance as compared to most of the contemporary ITO based EAMs regarding insertion loss (IL) ≈ 0.031 dB/µm and 0.025 dB/µm, extinction ratio (ER) ≈ 7.02 dB/µm and 11.04 dB/µm, figure-of-merit (FOM) ≈ 226 and 441, for the EAMs with 220 nm and 350 nm waveguide height, respectively. These results are significant for the fabrication of next-generation photonic integrated circuits.

The reliability and efficiency of free space optics (FSO) systems is significantly degraded by attenuation caused by different climate conditions and atmospheric turbulence. In this work, an FSO transmission system with high-speed transmission capability is proposed by deploying orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) to mitigate channel fading effects. Further, we propose the hybridization of polarization division multiplexing (PDM) with CO-OFDM to improve the system capacity. We perform the bit error rate (BER) and optical signal to noise ratio (OSNR) comparative analysis of multi-level quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) schemes, i.e., 4-QAM, 16-QAM, 32-QAM, and 64-QAM at 100, 120, 360, and 480 Gbps transmission rates, respectively. The obtained results reveal that the 4-QAM modulation scheme achieves the highest transmission range and the least OSNR requirement. In terms of spectral efficiency, 64-QAM shows the best performance. Also, the impact of different climate conditions on the system performance has been investigated. Through simulations, we demonstrate a successful transmission of 100 Gbps 4-QAM information at 15 km. Furthermore, we numerically investigated the increasing scintillation effect on the BER system performance. The proposed system not only reduces the channel fading but also improves the information rate and maximum transmission distance. The reported work can be considered for future FSO systems even in adverse climate conditions.

Fiber optic communication systems (FOCSs) have attained a lot of attention by revolutionizing the telecommunication industry and offering new possibilities with the technical advancements in state-ofthe-art high speed digital electronics. Advanced modulation formats make use of the phase, amplitude and polarization of the optical signals at the same time to provide high spectral efficiency as compared to 1 bit/s/Hz for intensity modulation direct detection system (IMDD), but are highly prone to transmission impairments. Thus, the effects that add up to the optical fiber impairments such as optical fiber chromatic dispersion (OFCD), polarization model dispersion (PMD), and phase offset and noise (POaN) needs to be addressed at the receiver side. The development of components and algorithms to minimize these effects in next generation FOCSs with 100 Gbps data rate and beyond with long-haul transmission, is still a challenging issue. In this paper, digital signal processing (DSP) assisted dispersion and non-linear compensation techniques are presented to compensate for physical layer impairments including OFCD, PMD and POaN. The simulations are performed considering Dual Polarization (DP)-QPSK modulation format to achieve two-fold data rate to achieve spectral efficiency of 3.28 bits/s/Hz by making use of the polarization diversity and system performance is investigated in terms of bit error rate (BER), constellation diagrams and quality factor (Q-factor) for different values of optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR), launch power (P L ) and fiber length

Free space optics (FSO) communication systems are preferred due to their high transmission capacity so it can support the ever-increasing volume of online traffic. Optical code division multiple access (OCDMA) is ideal for enhancing capacity by utilizing the same wavelengths for different information transmission. This paper presents a new FSO system based on the combination of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) and OCDMA systems. Three OCDMA channels, employing diagonal permutation shift (DPS) codes, carry 20 Gbps each, modulated by 4-level quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) and OFDM. To assess performance, the proposed system considers severe climate conditions like rain, fog, and snow. The effectiveness is measured by bit error rate (BER) and received optical power (ROP). In addition, actual meteorological data for the cities of Alexandria, Egypt and Pune, India are evaluated to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed model in a real-world setting. The results reveal successful transmission with an overall capacity of 60 Gbps over a 3600 m FSO range in Alexandria, achieving a 0.27 dBm ROP. In Pune, with higher average rainfall, the maximum FSO link is 2750 m with a -0.06 ROP. Furthermore, the proposed model can propagate up to 850 m under weak turbulence (WT).
