Abstract

Enhancing wireless connectivity, particularly in harsh weather circumstances, is possible through the use of polymer-based materials in Free Space Optical (FSO) communication systems. In the production of optical components like lenses, beam shapers, and protective enclosures for FSO transmitters and receivers, polymers are being used more and more because of their lightweight, affordable, and adjustable optical qualities. This study examines how well a polymer-integrated FSO link performs over 1–10 km distances when used for high-speed data transmission (up to 10 Gbps) and it is being observed over 5 km range polymer-based fiber is working efficiently than the normal optical fiber .. In Free space optical communications, atmospheric conditions play a pivotal role in deciding the transmission parameters of the communication model and we considered rainfall conditions in different regions  and the quality factor using specific attenuation models such as the Carbonneau Model, Japan model, and Suriza model for the rainfall rate in the region of Andhra Pradesh. Efficiency is analyzed in terms of Quality Factor, and it can be seen from the results that both DPSK AND QPSK are suitable for free space communications with a minimum Bit Error Rate , and comparatively, Differential Phase Shift Keying  outperforms Quadrature Phase Shift Keying in many ways by using the carbonate material optical fiber.

Keywords: Styrene, carbonate materials, BER, quality factor, attenuation, modulation.
