Abstract Free space optics (FSO) is a Optical communication technique that starts to evolve the world into a modernizedsociety by securing and fast transmissible of data through air medium without much contamination of the environment by transmitting a high power laser beam through free space. Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM)combinesthedatafromdifferentcarriersignalsinto a single signal using non ideal wavelengths with larger bandwidth. FSO communication is implemented by using 4 different Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) channels i.e.,(2x2,4x4,8x8 &16x16) and a amplifier series using adaptive optimization, a technique that grands an advantage over an varying environment such as rain, mist, fog, etc., that causes the attenuation of the signal and analyse the result by various factor such as BER and Quality factor vs Distance, data rate and attenuation using Optisystem16.0.
Key Words: Free Space Optics (FSO), Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM), MIMO Channel, Bit Error Rate(BER), Quality Factor.
OpticalCommunicationhasbeenamajorcontributor in the development of modern 21st century. With improvement in the modern technology the usage of spectrum bandwidth creates a major issue. Data Privacy and Encoding are beginning to be major problem in cybernetic world developments. FSO technology brings a solution to this problem by transmitting the data through theairmediumwithhelpoftheLaseroranyotheroptical signalfortransmission
Currently, Free Space Optics is capable of several Gigabitsofdata,voiceandvideocommunicationsthrough theair,whichallowsopticalconnectivitywithoutrequiring fiber optic cable or securing spectrum licenses. Communication links typically operate between the 780 1600nmwavelengthsbandsanduseOpticaltoElectricand Electric to Optic converters. FSO requires light, which can be focused by using either light emitting diodes (LEDs) or
lasers (light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation.
FSO communication is consider as an alternative to radiorelaylinkline ofsight(LOS)communicationsystems. FSO communications can provide high data rates in Gbps range through the atmosphere for range from a few hundreds of meters to a few kilometers. FSO channel is considered to be air medium where atmospheric attenuationfactorsplaysamajorrole.
Loss in the FSO system happens due to attenuation caused by different weather conditions and the Line of sight of the signal transceived. Attenuation is a telecommunications term that refers to a reduction in signal strength commonly occurring while transmitting analog or digital signals over long distances, Signal attenuation within the optical fibers is usually expressed inthelogarithmicunitofthedecibel.Decibelisdefinedby theinputandoutputpowerratioofthesignalforaspecific operating wavelength. The overall signal attenuation is defined by the number of dB, which is expressed as given below
dB=10log10 (Pin/Pout)
The atmospheric attenuation in FSO communication system is mainly caused by the Mie scattering and local weather condition. The atmospheric attenuation is time varying and will depend on the current local conditions andweather.
In general, the atmospheric attenuation is given by thefollowingBeer’slaw, τ=eβL
where β is the total atmospheric co efficient, contributed by absorption and scattering and L is the distancebetweenthetransmitterandreceiver.

The four models of FSO links are four different number of channels (2x2,4x4,8x8,16x16) operating at a wavelength of 1550nm by using different modulation formats i.e. NRZ and RZ. The FSO system consists of transmitter, propagation medium and receiver which is shown in fig. 3. The free space channel between the transceiver is the propagation medium that is use to transmit the light signal. Optical wireless communications useslightatnearinfraredfrequencytocommunication.

In the Optisystem 16 software, the FSO channel is model between an optical transmitter and optical receiver where the attenuation takes place. The adaptivechannel optimizationisachievedwiththehelpof a switch circuit that chooses the path which has inline amplifier that activates the amplifier circuit based on the visibility of the channel, thus optimizing the channels performance byadaptive optimization. Attenuation occurs due to presence of different atmospheric disturbances in the channel that is analyzed by considering standard attenuationvaluesfordifferentatmosphericcondition.

In digital transmission, the number of bit errors is the number of received bits of a data stream over a communication channel that have been altered due to noise, interference, distortion or bit synchronization errors.
The Bit Error Rate (BER) is the number of bit error perunittime.Thebiterrorratioisthenumberofbiterrors divided by the total number of transferred bits during a studied time interval. Bit error ratio is a unit less performance measure, often expressed as a percentage This visualize allows the user to calculate and display the biterrorrateofanelectricalsignalautomatically.
It can estimate the BER using different algorithms such as Gaussian and Chi Squared and derive different metrics from the eye diagram, such as Q factor, eye opening,eyeclosure,extinctionratio,eyeheight,jitter,etc. It can also take in account Forward Error Correction, plot BERpatternsandestimatesystempenaltiesandmargins.

The model system encompasses an n channel WDM multiplexed adaptive FSO system operating at 2 Gbps using different MIMO formats for 20dbm input power at various weather conditions. Afterwards, adaptive optimization technique enables FSO signals to be improved and travelled long distances by optimizing post amplification system between the transmitter and receiver.InFreeSpace Optical system,the16x16MIMO channel performs better than other MIMO channels at all weather conditions as it performs a link range of more than 35kms in clear and turbulence and 3kms in fog weatherconditionswithaminimumBiterrorrateof0and 15 e =001 and maximum Q factor of 57 and 0.8 respectively. Furthermore, low distance performance is enhanced by increasing the number of channels and throughtheuseofadaptiveoptimizedchannel.
