The performance and reliability are crucial features of the FSO links involved in optical metro networks (particularly, for last mile networks). In particular, the performance of the overall optical communication system ...

Optical antennas/nanoantennas are optical elements that have gained highlight in this decade and have potential application in several branches of photonics/plasmonics, such as, optical sensors, lasers, solid state lighting, ...

In this chapter we will study a FSO MISO system. Section 2 describes the components of single beam and multi-beam FSO communication links. Because spatial correlation among the propagating beams in a MISO link plays a key ...

Light emitting diodes or LEDs, which are special for telecommunications, and laser diodes were characterized. A free space optical data transmitter and its corresponding receptor were built. A power of 10mW semiconducting laser ...

The project described consists on the development of a compact size Bit Error Rate Tester(BERT), for the Free Space Optical(FSO) communications system that is being developed on the photonics laboratory of Politecnico ...
