Abstract
Abstract Radio-over-free-space (Ro-FSO) technology is a combination of free-space optics (FSO) and radio over fiber. It plays a significant role in radio-frequency signal transmission in mobile network communication through high-speed optical carrier without any licensing and costly cables. Photonic crystal fibers also play a significant role to deliver data at faster rate for short haul communication. This paper, for the first time to the author’s best knowledge, utilizes mode division multiplexing in conjunction with solid core PCFs to transmit $$2 \times 2.5$$ 2 × 2.5  Gbps–5 GHz data over 2.5 km free-space link. The results are reported in terms of bit error rate, spatial profiles of received modes, mode spectrum of modes and eye diagrams. Furthermore, proposed PCF-MDM-Ro-FSO transmission system is also reported under the impact of atmospheric turbulences.
