DP-QPSK Technique for Ultra-high Bit-rate DWDM FSO System

Abstract

Abstract This paper proposes an ultra-high capacity free space optical communication (FSO) system, employing optical dual polarization quadrature phase shift keying (DP-QPSK) modulation format. It is a 16-channel dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) system with 120 Gbps/channel bit rate. The FSO system is analyzed with three optical advanced modulation schemes; such as 4-quadrature amplitude modulation (4-QAM), quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) and DP-QPSK. The main focus of the projected system is to improve the FSO setup performance in terms of eye diagram, bit error rate (BER), high received power and Q-factor. The center channel wavelength used for the proposed system is 1550 nm. In the present wireless communication world, the proposed system will be highly helpful as an ultrahigh capacity wireless system.
