    1. Free Space Laser Communications Phillip Dykstra WareOnEarth Communications Inc. phil@sd.wareonearth.com

    2. Introduction Free space laser communications a.k.a. Free Space Optics, Optical Wireless Basically a laser and a telescope Most are protocol independent Typical range < 4 km (.5, 1, 2, 4, 8km) Typical bandwidths: 10, 100, 1000 Mbps Lucent 10 Gbps DWDM (TeraBeam)

    3. Example Systems

    4. Transmitters LED (single or multiple) 1 mW typical Laser (single or multiple) 10-20 mW typical, up to 100 mW Usually 785 or 850 nm, some 1310 nm Eye safety limit: 1.5 mW/cm^2 at 785 nm Multiple transmitters boost power, may also reduce scintillation fades

    5. Detectors PIN Diodes -43 dBm typical Avalanche Photo Diodes (APD) -53 dBm typical (also greater dynamic range) Single or multiple detectors Larger aperture increases receive power, reduces scintillation fades Design goal: BER < 10^-9 typical

    6. Laser Link Geometry Critical Design Parameters

    7. System Comparison (OC3 1km products)

    8. Example Loss Budget Optical Access T1000X
