Implementation of 23 Gbps optical wireless link for 750 km inter-aircraft communications

Abstract Optical device research and development is crucial for the implementation of miniaturized wireless optical transmission systems that are capable transmitting large amounts data at fast speeds. This work presents design evaluation an link inter-aircraft interconnects. At transmitter, vertically cavity surface emission laser (VCSEL) used to generate a directly modulated non-return zero (NRZ) signal. In receiver, direct detection Gaussian low-pass filtering used. The system's performance evaluated compared with without use filtration detector. BER, sensitivities, capability evaluate using optisystem software. range rate enhanced 9-fold 4-fold, respectively, in comparison earlier schemes. results presented show 750 km 23 Gbps BER 10-29.
