In today’s world, the communication has become an integrally of every human. FSO is a line of sight wireless
communication system in which the data is transmitted in the form of laser beams. FSO is one of the best communication
system because of its highest bandwidth, no need of licensing, maximum transmission data rates with very high security.
Since the signal is transmitted via free space, the laser beams are degraded due to turbulent atmosphere.The main aim of this
module is to first design a single channel FSO trans-receiver system and then upgrade it to higher number of channels (upto
30 channels). After the design is done and validated multiple simulations are carried out to evaluate the effects/phenomena
that limit the performance of the proposed designs and extend their effects on performance evaluating parameters. Then
different techniques are proposed that improve the performance evaluating parameters and either eliminate or minimize the
effect of noise and distortion effects onto system performance.
