AbstractOptical wireless is the alternative approach to complete the deployment of optical cable networks in case of failure in implementation. In optical wave the attenuation due to atmospheric turbulence conditions causes a performance degradation of a free space optical (FSO) system. Thus, it will lead to the deterioration of the signal power in the optical cable. To overcome these challenges, multi-channel FSO transmitter and erbium doped fiber in optical link was adopted with high transmission power. In this paper, a hybrid FSO/fiber optic (FSO/FO) link is simulated and investigated under different weather conditions. The proposed hybrid link is evaluated in terms of BER and Q-factor. The proposed system shows a closely performance as compared with the conventional FSO for whole investigation range from 200 m to 2000 m. While the communication distance with the hybrid link is increased by 40 km as compared to conventional FSO. The results show good agreement with Kim model, especially at high input power of 160 mW.
