Abstract
In this work, a 16 × 100 Gbps optical single sideband (OSSB) modulation based dual polarized (DP) Mach–Zehndar Modulators and polarizer in DP-Quadrature phase shift keying (DP-QPSK) with coherent optical Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (CO-OFDM) is proposed over inter-satellite optical wireless link (IsOWC). Carrier phase estimation, frequency offset estimation and nonlinear compensation are performed by incorporating digital signal processing (DSP) in the system. Proposed OSSB generation has ability to provide tunable optical carrier to sideband ration by adjusting polarization controller and mathematical principle is also discussed. Security of the system is improved by employing matched filter prior to DSP which has property of noise rejection i.e. waveforms can be detected in presence of jammer. Further, a comparison of proposed system is performed with QPSK-IsOWC, DP-QPSK-IsOWC, and DP-QPSK-CO-OFDM-IsOWC systems in terms of log BER, error vector magnitude, received power, and optical signal to noise ratio. It is observed that proposed system can cover 15,900 km at 100 Gbps at targeted log BER of − 2.42 and provides enhanced performance. As per author’s best of knowledge, IsOWC system with such bandwidth efficient spectrum, high performance and security has not been reported in the past.
