Coherent Optical Wireless Systems for High Speed Local Area Networks with Increased Resilience
Pages 1 - 5
Abstract
Optical wireless systems constitute an interesting alternative for supporting next generation local area networks with high speed gigabit-per-second connectivity. Their advantages include a vast license-free spectrum, an abundance of transmission bandwidth, limited health side-effects and zero electromagnetic interference with existing legacy radio networks and other devices. On the other hand, coherent detection is being widely considered in fiber-optic communication systems as a means to provide optical gain at the receiver while at the same time achieving increased spectral efficiency and wavelength selectivity. In this paper we propose to make the best of both worlds combining coherent detection and optical wireless. The improved power budget may ensure better coverage conditions, higher data rates and resilience against shadowing and beam obstruction effects. We discuss the factors that may contribute to the performance degradation in such systems such as laser phase noise, etc. We present some basic calculations and attempt to provide a first indication on the influence of these factors.
