Abstract

In this paper, we have proposed and demonstrated a 100 Gbps data transmission system over hybrid single mode fiber (SMF)-free space optics (FSO) link using optical comb lines in wavelength-division-multiplexing technique. A continuous wave laser, two dual drive Mach-Zehnder modulators and four electrical attenuators are employed to generate optical frequency comb lines (OFCL). The OFCL generator generates 52 comb lines by optimizing biasing voltages. The OFCL lines with a side mode suppression ratio of ∼ 50dB and flatness ∼∼ 0.01dB are generated and used as an optical carrier in the proposed system. The performance of the system is investigated in different weather conditions, such as clear weather, hazy weather, heavy rain, light fog, moderate fog, and heavy fog.
