Abstract
A prospective method for high-speed data transfer via light propagation in free space, such as between buildings, satellites, or metropolitan areas, is Free Space Optics (FSO) communication. FSO systems have great promises, but their performance can be severely hampered by atmospheric disturbances. Problems like fog, rain, and turbulence cause the optical signal to be absorbed and scattered, increasing BER. To address these challenges, various Neural Network (NN) techniques such as Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), have been investigated. According to the study, CNNs perform better than ANNs and RNNs among the NN approaches investigated in controlling for the spatial changes brought on by atmospheric circumstances. CNN's ability to analyze spatial data is probably the reason for this advantage, which makes it perfect for addressing localized FSO communication problems. CNNs hence result in a more dependable link by improving BER and SNR, particularly in adverse weather conditions.
