Abstract
Optical wireless communication (OWC) utilizing unregulated broadband optical spectrum is regarded as a powerful candidate to meet the requirement for high-speed wireless connectivity. Here we propose a polarization insensitive OWC scheme by using multi-mode based beam shaping (MM-BS) technique via offset launch in a multi-mode fiber (MMF). With the proposed configuration and coherent dual polarization QPSK (DP-QPSK) modulation, a real-time 10 Gb/s optical wireless link over 4.2 m free-space is experimentally demonstrated for multi-user scenario, achieving −38.8 dBm receiver sensitivity and >12cm coverage range. Moreover, a 20 Gb/s PAM4 OWC link over 1.2 m free-space is performed with −22.2 dBm receiver sensitivity and >3.2 cm coverage range. The measured results reveal the feasibility of the proposed scheme to build a high-speed high-performance wireless connectivity.
期刊介绍:
IEEE Photonics Technology Letters addresses all aspects of the IEEE Photonics Society Constitutional Field of Interest with emphasis on photonic/lightwave components and applications, laser physics and systems and laser/electro-optics technology. Examples of subject areas for the above areas of concentration are integrated optic and optoelectronic devices, high-power laser arrays (e.g. diode, CO2), free electron lasers, solid, state lasers, laser materials'' interactions and femtosecond laser techniques. The letters journal publishes engineering, applied physics and physics oriented papers. Emphasis is on rapid publication of timely manuscripts. A goal is to provide a focal point of quality engineering-oriented papers in the electro-optics field not found in other rapid-publication journals.
