a b s t r a c t Optical CDMA over FSO communication system is very effective to provide high data rate transmission with very low bit error rate and low amount of multiple access interference. In this paper, we have presented optical CDMA over FSO communication system to the range of 8000 m. The simulative results reveal that the transmission distance is limited mainly by the multi-access interference (MAI) which arises when there are number of users in the system because of the fact that one user data becomes noisy for all other users in the channel. © 2014 Elsevier GmbH.

1. Introduction Free space optics (FSO) communication have some distinct advantages over conventional microwave and optical fiber communication by virtue of their high carrier frequencies that permit large capacity, enhanced security and high data rate [1]. FSO is an optical communication technology that uses light propagating in free space to transmit data between two points. The technology is useful where the physical connection by the means of fiber optic cables is impractical [2,3]. FSO communication can be used in many optical links such as building-to-building, ship-to-ship, aircraft-to-ground and satellite-to-ground. In recent years, CDMA has become a very popular communication system for wireless mobile communication system for the reason of its high bit rate transmission, security, very low bit error rate and increased amount of system capacity. The use of CDMA in fiber optic communication has also become very popular for above reasons. Recently, performance evaluation of CDMA in optical terrestrial fiber is reported [4]. Now a very intelligent integration of FSO and optical CDMA is proposed and this is optical CDMA–FSO communication system [5]. Optical CDMA–FSO communication system is very effective to provide high data rate transmission with very low bit error rate and low amount of multiple access interference. A new optical CDMA time-diversity scheme could enhance the BER for several orders in strong turbulence have been presented and new scheme in strong turbulence was better

than the traditional scheme in normal turbulence [6]. In this paper we propose the simulative optical CDMA transmitter and receiver with free space optical communication reported in Section 2. The simulation results have been discussed in Section 3. The conclusion of our simulative results is presented in Section 4.
2. System description In the proposed optical CDMA over FSO communication system (Fig. 1), 2.50 Gbps data signal is generated with NRZ modulation. The 2.50 Gbps NRZ data signal is then modulated by means of MZM modulator and then transmitted over FSO by means of a four mode-lock lasers used to create a dense WDM multi-frequency light source of 3 mW operating at 1550.0–1551.2 nm. Then optical CDMA signal is transmitted over FSO. Here we are using 16 OC48 users requiring 16 distinct signature codes. Pseudo orthogonal (PSO) matrix codes [7] are popular for OCDMA applications primarily because they retain the correlation advantages of PSO linear sequences while reducing the need for bandwidth expansion. PSO matrix codes also generate a larger code set. An interesting variation is described in [8] where some of the wavelength/time (W/T) matrix codes can permit extensive wavelength reuse and some can allow extensive time-slot reuse. In this model, an extensive timeslot reuse sequence is used for User 1 (1 3 ; 0; 2 4 ; 0). There are four time slots used without any guard-band giving the chip period of 100 ps. At the base station, PSO code is retrieved using decoder and then optical signal is converted into electrical through APD and 2.50 Gbps optical CDMA data are recovered successfully.

(c) 3. Results and discussion The analysis performed by observing three cases: case (I) described the analysis of optical CDMA over FSO communication system with NRZ and RZ modulation, case (II) investigated different parameters on optical CDMA over FSO communication system and case (III) gave us impact of MAI in optical CDMA over FSO communication system.
3.1. Case I. Performance investigations in optical CDMA over FSO communication system with NRZ and RZ modulation The parameters used in this case are data rate = 2.50 Gbps, aperture area = 180 cm2 , transmitted power = 3 mW, sigma add = 1.9, divergence angle = 0.25 mrad. Fig. 3(a) and (b) indicates the graph between Q value versus the transmission distance at NRZ and RZ. From results it has been observed that there is significant decrease in the value of Q factor which lies within [12.5 and 6.5] and [10.4 and 3] for transmission distance of 1000–8000 m in case of NRZ and RZ modulation, respectively. In case of BER, it has been observed that there is significant increase in the value of BER, which lies within [10−40 –10−9 ] and [10−26 –10−3 ] for transmission distance from 1000 to 8000 m in case of NRZ and RZ modulation, respectively.

3.2. Case II. Performance analysis of different parameter in optical CDMA over FSO communication system Fig. 4(a) and (b) indicates the graph between Q values versus the transmission distance at different transmitter power. From results it has been observed that there is significant decrease in the value of Q factor which lies within [11.3, 11, 10.8 and 10.5] and [5, 4, 3, and 1] for transmission distance of 1000–8000 m in case of 4 mW, 3 mW, 2 mW and 1 mW, respectively. In other case BER, from result it has been observed that there is significant increase in the value of BER, which lies within [10−26 , 10−27 , 10−28 , and 10−29 ] and [10−1 , 10−3 , 10−5 , and 10−6 ] for transmission distance from 1000 to 8000 m in case of 4 mW, 3 mW, 2 mW and 1 mW, respectively. Fig. 5(a) and (b) indicates the graph between Q value versus the transmission distance at different additional attenuation. From results it has been observed that there is significant decrease in the value of Q factor which lies within [11.2, 11 and 10.8] and [5.5, 4.5 and 2] for transmission distance from 1000 to 8000 m in case of −3 dBm, −5 dBm, −7 dBm, respectively. In other case BER, from result it has been observed that there is significant increase in the value of BER, which lies within [10−28 , 10−27 and 10−26 ] and [10−7 , 10−4 and 10−2 ] for transmission distance from 1000 to 8000 m in case of −3 dBm, −5 dBm, −7 dBm, respectively.

The crosstalk between different users sharing the common FSO channel known as multiple access interface is usually the dominant source of bit errors in an optical CDMA over FSO communication system [9,10]. Further, Fig. 7(a) and (b) indicates the graph between Q values and BER versus the transmission distance with and without MAI in optical CDMA over FSO system. From result it has been observed that there is significant decrease in the value of Q factor which lies within 12.5–6 in without MAI, 11–6.5 in with MAI at two users and 9–6 in with MAI at three users in the length of 1000–8000 m. In other case BER, from result it has been observed that there is significant increase in the value of BER, which lies within 10–35 to 10–9 in without MAI, 10−30 –10−10 in with MAI at two users and 10−18 –10−9 in with MAI at three users in the length of 1000–8000 m.

Performance investigation on this designed optical CDMA over FSO was carried out using NRZ and RZ modulation for comparative study, with different parameters and with and without MAI. It is concluded that NRZ give us better performance as compare to RZ in optical CDMA over FSO communication system. Further transmission range also

It is also concluded that the efficiency of OCDMA over FSO communication system is degraded by increasing number of users. References [1] H. Willebrand, B.S.
