Abstract

The transmission characteristics of 384 Gbit / s free-space laser link with dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) are demonstrated, with channel spacing of 100 GHz. We use a simulated atmosphere channel with a tunable weak turbulence, and bit error rate (BER) curves of back-to-back transmission, which are measured and contrasted, respectively. To our knowledge, it is the first demonstration in the research of DWDM-DP-QPSK high-speed free-space optical (FSO) transmission in an atmospheric channel with tunable turbulence. For 100 GHz channel spacing, receiving sensitivities can be −33.6, −32.7, and −32.1 dBm for 300, 336, and 384 Gbit / s DWDM-PM-QPSK signals, respectively, at BER of 3.8 × ^{10 − 3} (FEC limit). In comparison with −37.6, −36.1, and −35.1 dBm for B2B case, the power penalties are 4, 3.4, and 3.0 dB, respectively. This study indicates that high-speed coherent DWDM-DP-QPSK FSO transmission is feasible.
