摘要
In this paper, we describe an optical wireless communications system that uses light from an optical fibre access point to provide transparent and bi-directional optical links to nomadic terminals. Full localization and tracking is implemented, and a 50 Gb/s link is demonstrated. The link operates in an indoor environment, with a +/- 30 degrees. field-of-view covering a distance of up to 3m, and a localization accuracy of 0.05 degrees (2.5mm pointing accuracy at 3 m) is achieved. This demonstration shows that it is feasible to use an automated system to achieve the required alignment for an ultrahigh data rate fibre-wireless-fibre link.
