Based on analysis of transmission in atmospheric channel concerning 650 nm laser beam, performance of wireless laser communication link utilizing a low power red laser diode was evaluated. The proposed system can achieve a maximum range of 300 m at data rate 100 Mb/s theoretically. An experimental short-range link at data rate 10 Mb/s covering 300 m has been implemented in our university. It is feasible to enhance the system performance such as link range and data rate by increasing transmitting power and decreasing laser beam divergence angle or through other approaches.展开更多

Optical signal passing through a typical OXC is analyzed in this paper, followed by description of the generation and effect of intraband crosstalk.The power penalties induced by intraband crosstalk versus the number of multiplexed wavelengths M and the number of input fibers N have been given by numerical simulations. The results show that the coherent crosstalk is the most critical limitation on OXC and depends more closely on the number of multiplexed wavelengths M than the number of input fibers N . Crosstalk is suppressed by doubly filtering, fixing optimum decision-threshold and appropriately choosing the number of multiplexed wavelengths M .展开更多
