Abstract

Free Space Optical (FSO) communication is a new generation of high-speed technology that utilizes light as the carrier to transfer information through free space, e.g., air, outer space, and vacuum. In comparison with traditional systems of communication, FSO offers a wonderful bandwidth advantage with less cost and ease of installation. This study compares the performance of two other FSO systems using advanced polymer composites such as Perfluorinated polymers in designing the optical system based on crucial parameters such as Bit Error Rate (BER) and Quality Factor (Q) for various link distances (1–5 km),as the perfluorinated polymers are good for high data rate and power levels, and aperture sizes. The impact of varying atmospheric conditions on the Q factor is also compared across several cities using different material composites to quantify system adaptability. Results indicate that higher transmitted power and larger aperture sizes significantly enhance the Q factor upto 30 and reduce BER 6.61e-248. Furthermore, optimization of system parameters yields improved performance; thus FSO is a viable option for high-speed, long-distance communication. Future advancements are also explored in the research, including the application of fiber Bragg gratings and intricate modulation techniques such as Quadrature Phase Shift Keying and Differential Phase Shift Keying, for further improvement in data rate and throughput. The research is a step towards the progress of FSO technology, presenting it as an attainable solution for future optical communication systems.
