Abstract A free space optics based ring topology that transmits full‐duplex data to four different nodes in the ring is proposed. The link is designed such that the four nodes do not require a local optical source to transmit the uplink data. A wavelength division multiplexed signal composed of four different wavelengths each modulated by the downlink baseband data using differential phase shift keying is transmitted towards the nodes. At each node, the downlink baseband data is extracted and the received optical pulses are remodulated by the uplink baseband data using on‐off keying modulation format. Each node has a data rate of 10 Gbps and is at a distance of 400 m from the consecutive node. The free space optical link is modelled on the basis of Gamma‐Gamma channel model under different turbulence conditions by considering the refractive index structure parameter values of , and . Bit error rate results are obtained for both the downlink and uplink channels. Finally, power budget analysis is presented to demonstrate the robustness of the link under different weather conditions.
