Résumé:
Optical Wireless Communication (or OWC) and Free Space Optics (or FSO) are sophisticated methods for
transmitting data at fast speeds and large bandwidths. However, these technologies encounter obstacles associated
with atmospheric conditions (such as fog, rain, and haze) that might weaken signals. These situations can elevate bit
error rates and diminish transmission distances. This project aims to analyze and create a design for an outdoor optical
communication system that utilizes an OWC channel for a network of unmanned aerial vehicles (or UAVs) under
different weather situations. What sets this research apart is the innovative use of adaptive techniques that utilize
forward, backward, and bidirectional EDFA (or Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier) topologies to adjust for these
atmospheric conditions. To assess the performance of the proposed system, the Bit Error Rate (or BER) measure is
set at 1e-03 to determine acceptable circumstances. In addition, the constellation diagram can provide us with a visual
representation to analyze the system's performance.
