Optimal Communication Coverage for Free-Space-Optical MANET Building Blocks
نویسندگان
چکیده
Existence of line of sight (LOS) and alignment between the communicating antennas is one of the key requirements for free-space-optical (FSO) communication. To ensure uninterrupted data flow, auto-aligning transmitter and receiver modules are necessary. We previously proposed [1] a new FSO node design that uses spherical surfaces covered with transmitter and receiver modules for maintaining optical links even when nodes are in relative motion. In this paper, through theoretical modeling, we answer the question of how much coverage can be achieved by a 2-d circular FSO node with the highest possible number of transceivers. The essence of our analysis is to demonstrate scalability of our FSO node designs to longer distances as well as feasibility of denser packaging of transceivers on such nodes. KeywordsFree Space Optical communication, AutoConfigurable, Angular Diversity.

The aim of this paper is to fully analyze the effects of free space optical (FSO) communication links on the estimation performance of the adaptive incremental networks. The FSO links in this paper are described with two turbulence models namely the Log-normal and Gamma-Gamma distributions. In order to investigate the impact of these models we produced the link coefficients using these distribu...

Readout and retrieval processes are proposed for efficient, high-fidelity quantum state transfer between a matter qubit, encoded in the level structure of a single atom or ion, and a photonic qubit, encoded in a time-reversal-symmetric single-photon wave packet. They are based on controlling spontaneous photon emission and absorption of a matter qubit on demand in free space by stimulated Raman...

Free-space optical switching and computing systems utilize macroscopic optical elements such as holograms, gratings, lenses, and mirrors as their basic hardware building blocks. In these systems, information is carried by arrays of beams of light that are collimated, manipulated, and focused onto spatial light modulators (SLMs) in a stage-by-stage fashion. The photonics switching work at AT&T B...
