Abstract

Free space optical (FSO) communication systems can be used to transmit data at a high data rate while being immune to noise that typical communication systems are susceptible to. Current radio frequency (RF) trans- mission systems are flooding the usable spectrum, causing it to become overcrowded and inconvenient to use. This results in more noise and potentially a lower bandwidth based on the part of the spectrum a given RF system is able to operate in. The free space optical transceiver (FSO-TRx) system proposed in this paper helps solve these issues with a modular and scalable design.
