Abstract
In this paper, we design and investigate 10-channels of mode division multiplexer (MDM)
over hybrid free-space optics (FSO) link in several weather conditions to achieve the maximum
possible medium range and fiber to the home (FTTH) for high bandwidth access networks. System
capacity can be effectively increased with the use of MDM over hybrid FSO-FTTH. In this study, a 10-
channel MDM over FSO-FTTH system has been analyzed in different weather conditions that
operate at 1550 nm wavelength. The simulated system has transmitted 100 Gbit/s up for a distance of
3200 meters FSO in superbly clear weather condition. It also transmitted 100 Gbit/s up for a distance
of 650 meters FSO during heavy rain. The validation of this study is measures based on eye diagrams
bit-error rates (BER) that have been analyzed.
