Modeling data and high power over free-space optic channels Abstract: Transmitting modulated data using different schemes along with high power light over free-space optic (FSO) channel under different weather conditions and scintillation strengths will be discussed. Multi-junction Photonic Power Converter (PPC) is used to detect the transmitted high power. Simulation results exploiting the newly added Universal FSO Channel component to OptiSystem software will be presented. New temporal scintillation models including Negative Exponential, Malag and K-model will be discussed. In addition, spatial scintillation model and its effect on the transmitted data and high power will be addressed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Modélisation de données et haute puissance sur les canaux optiques en espace libre Résumé : La transmission de données modulées à l'aide de différents schémas ainsi que d'une lumière haute puissance sur un canal optique en espace libre (FSO) dans différentes conditions météorologiques et intensités de scintillation sera discutée. Le convertisseur de puissance photonique multi-jonction (PPC) est utilisé pour détecter la puissance élevée transmise. Les résultats de simulation exploitant le composant Universal FSO Channel nouvellement ajouté au logiciel OptiSystem seront présentés. De nouveaux modèles de scintillation temporelle, notamment le modèle exponentiel négatif, Malag et K, seront discutés. De plus, le modèle de scintillation spatiale et ses effets sur les données transmises et la puissance élevée seront abordés.
