Title

Reconfigurable Optical Wireless

Abstract

The advancements in free-space optical communications for wireless are expected to deliver unprecedented wide bandwidths. The use of inertialess optical scanners as the agile free space light routing method within a multi-user free-space optical wireless network to realize an all-optical advanced wireless networking is proposed. This would lead to a wireless network essentially transparent to the information bandwidth, implying ultra-wideband operation. Optical intersatellite links can use the highly accurate and fast beam pointing capabilities of the scanner to enhance the tradeoff between link distance and data rate. Similarly, indoor optical wireless can be greatly more power efficient and eye safe when using a scanner coupled with the optical link.
