Free-space optical system based on vertical transceivers link under varying smoke density

Free-Space Optics (FSO) system depends on the line-of-sight (LOS) Limitations, such as atmospheric conditions. The smoke plumes of crude oil fires cause serious challenges on the optical signal propagation through communication systems. The novelty of this paper is in the new design of vertical multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO-FSO) system of various influencing factors such as; transceivers heights, beam divergence and link distance that has been simulated and analysed under varying smoke plumes density. The results indicate that the received power and Q-Factor in the proposed model have demonstrated better results than the well knowing models under similar atmospheric conditions. Hence, it reduces optical signal attenuation and improves the stability of line of sight. The significance of this optimized performance system is its ability to be a good choice for regional environments that suffer from frequent oil wells fires.
