Abstract
Free Space Optics (FSO) is a wireless data transmission method for infrastructure
that uses laser beam energy to transmit information waves through the atmosphere. Furthermore,due to its high bandwidth potential and simple deployment, FSO has garnered considerableinterest. However, atmospheric turbulence and misalignment present obstacles to establishingdependable and effective FSO links.For systems varying from space invariant to totally space variant, the optimal design of
free-space optical connectivity systems using diffractive optics is found from an engineering perspective.Parameters such as the light's wavelength, the system's total number of optical sources anddetectors, their sizes, and their spacing are used to determine the system's volume. Another importantparameter is the diffractive lens's f-number. Diffraction Optical Elements (DOEs) haveemerged as a promising means of addressing these difficulties. Also, the patent related to automatedhoney beehive box gives the insight of its monitoring system.This paper provides an overview of the implementation and advancements of FSO systems
utilizing DOEs, including the fundamental principles, design considerations, and performanceimprovements. The study discusses the basics of diffraction and the role of DOEs in FSO systems. Itexplores the diffraction grating equation and the Huygens-Fresnel principle to understand wavepropagation and interference phenomena. Design considerations for FSO systems equipped withDOEs are discussed, including the selection of appropriate DOEs and evaluation of performancebenefits. The study also investigates the application of AI methods, such as machine learning anddeep learning, in optimizing FSO systems with DOEs.A thorough overview of Free Space Optics (FSO) systems utilizing Diffraction Optical Elements
(DOEs) is given in this review study. It examines diffraction theory and DOE use in FSO,emphasizing their potential for beam forming, beam steering, and adaptive optics. The study examinesFSO with DOE design concerns, performance improvements, applications, and future approaches.FSO systems may overcome problems with air turbulence, misalignment, and fading byusing the characteristics of DOEs, opening the door for dependable and effective wireless communication.In conclusion, the effect of DOEs on BER efficiency is also modified by the obscuration
ratio. Transmission power is increased when more DOEs are used by an amount defined by theirobscuration ratios. Additionally, because of the increased power complement in these systems, theeffect of DOEs is more pronounced. The integration of AI further enhances FSO capabilities byproviding adaptive optimization, fault detection, predictive maintenance, and improved security.Future research directions may include exploring advanced AI techniques and conducting practicalimplementations of FSO systems with DOEs for various applications, particularly in Internet ofThings (IoT) scenarios.
