Free-space op+cal could ‘hop’ over railroads with fiber-like speeds

By Linda Hardesty X-Lumin wants to support middle-mile networks, as well as backhaul, tower-to-tower and tower-to-data-center deployments. (Art by Midjourney for Fierce Network) Free-space op2cal uses the same laser light beams as fiber op2c cables The technology can bring fiber-like speeds to places that are difficult to span with fiber The free-space op2cal company X-Lumin wants […]

Free-space optical communication – Wikipedia

Wikipedia, Aprill 22, 2023. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-space_optical_communication Free-space optical communication (FSO) is an optical communication technology that uses light propagating in free space to wirelessly transmit data for telecommunications or computer networking. “Free space” means air, outer space, vacuum, or something similar. This contrasts with using solids such as optical fiber cable. The technology is useful where

Free Space Laser Communications: A Historical Perspective

John Maynard, November 2, 2019 Introduction The potential for efficient high-data-rate communications using the laser has been recognized since its initial development more than 50 years ago. Free-space optical communications using lasers offer significant advantages over radio frequency (RF) or microwave systems for both airborne and satellite platforms, including high-capacity trunk links or dedicated point-to-point

Latest developments in high power, tunable, CW, narrow line thulium fiber laser for deployment to the ISTEF

The rapid increase in the use of laser emission in open environments demands that operating wavelengths are chosen appropriately to ensure the eye safety of those at risk of exposure. Wavelengths beyond 1.4 μm fall in the retina-safe, or more popularly known as eye-safe, region of the electromagnetic spectrum.
