Description
Summary:Recently, there has been an increase in interest in using optical wireless communication (OWC) links on high-altitude platforms (HAPs) for satellite applications. We implement an orbital angular momentum (OAM) multiplexed orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system using an OWC link. A space-to-air scenario is considered in which transmission pointing errors, geometric loss, turbulence, and additional link losses are taken into account to extend the transmission range, system capacity, and throughput. At 200 Gbps per channel data rate, four different OAM modes are implemented with higher order Laguerre–Gaussian (LG) modes of [0,0], [0,13], [0,40], and [0,80]. An aggregate 800 Gbps data rate can deliver a maximum OWC range of 3300–5000 km for all channels. The maximum received power over the 1000 km range is −19.34 to −32.59 dBm with an additional gain of 0–2.5 dB. It is also possible to obtain a better performance over large distances of 500–3500 km with an error vector magnitude of 2.98–17.5%. Furthermore, a high gain of −40.80 dB, a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 55.21 dB, and an optical SNR of 67.25 dB can be achieved for varied transmitter pointing errors of 0.1 rad. As compared to other literature, this system exhibits a superior performance.
