Abstract

Cities often face difficulties in developing optical technology infrastructure due to the dense existing infrastructures. In addition, there is an increasing demand for data transmission, which requires a better and more flexible telecommunications system design solution. This research proposes a hybrid design between fiber optics and free space optics (FSO) that utilizes 4 WDM channels (wave division multiplexing) to improve capacity. The performance of the proposed design is simulated using Optisystem, and the Q factor and BER parameters are used to evaluate the effectiveness of the design. Several scenarios are conducted, including fiber optic distance, FSO medium distance, and attenuation within the FSO medium. The system's results show positive output, with the best performance achieved at 7 km of fiber optic distance, 1500 m of medium FSO distance, and the least attenuation factor. The proposed design reaches a Q factor of up to 8.2 and a BER minimum of as low as 10-21. These results indicate that fiber optic distance, FSO medium distance, and attenuation in FSO medium are factors that affect system performance. In general, the proposed design is capable of performing as a wide-bandwidth-efficient system for point-to-point communication in cities.
