10 Gbps indoor optical wireless communication employing 2D passive beam steering based on arrayed waveguide gratings

Abstract

We report an indoor optical wireless communication system based on 2D optical beam steering at using arrayed waveguide gratings. A data rate of 10Gbps is demonstrated with NRZ-OOK modulation maintaining BER ≤ 10-9, while keeping the optical transmitted power below the eye safety limit.
