Download or read book Free Space Optical Networks for Ultra Broad Band Services written by Stamatios V. Kartalopoulos and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-09-09 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive description of an optical communications technology known as free space optical—a next-generation communications network that uses optical signals through the atmosphere instead of fiber, RF, or microwaves. This technology potentially offers more complex ultrabandwidth communication services simultaneously to multiple users and in a very short time, compared to fiber optic technology. This text presents established and new advancements drawn from the latest research and development in components, networking, operation, and practices. This book describes the FSO network concepts in simple language. It provides comprehensive coverage in an easy-to-understand, progressive style that starts from the physics of the atmosphere and how it affects optical communications; continues with the design of a network node; and concludes with fiberless network applications from point-to-point to mesh topology. Important areas discussed include: Propagation of light in the atmosphere and phenomena that affect light propagation FSO transceiver design Point-to-point FSO systems Ring FSO systems Mesh-FSO systems and integrating the Mesh-FSO with the public network WDM Mesh-FSO FSO network security FSO-specific applications To meet the needs of both academia and industry, key mathematical formulas are presented along with descriptions, while extensive mathematical analyses are minimized or avoided. Free Space Optical Networks for Ultra-Broad Band Services serves as an ideal text for network communication professionals who enter the free space optical communication field, graduate students majoring in optical communications, optical communication engineers, researchers, managers, and consultants.

Download or read book Free Space Optics and Wireless Broadband Radio Frequency Technology written by John W. Sprague and published by . This book was released on 2002-03-01 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Existing copper phone and cable infrastructure no longer provide the required broadband for today's emerging applications. Homes and businesses in the "last mile" require the same access to broadband speeds available inside the fiber optic ring. It is not economically feasible, however, to bring fiber optic cable to each and every home and business in the "last mile." Free Space Optics and Wireless Broadband Radio Frequency are two technologies gaining popularity as an alternative broadband infrastructure. Free Space Optics uses lasers and Wireless Broadband uses Radio Frequency waves to send large amounts of data from on place to another. Both are wireless technologies that use free space. As a result, they are quickly deployed, easily scaled, and cheaper to install and upgrade than wired infrastructures. These characteristics support missions of the Armed Forces in which wire-bound infrastructure is not dependable, is impractical to build and maintain, or requires a high degree of mobility. This thesis address the "last mile" problem including why current infrastructure will not provide a broadband solution. free Space Optics and Wireless Broadband Radio Frequency technologies are explored and discussed. Finally, an economic analysis of alternative network designs utilizing the two emerging technologies is applied to a fictitious city with a population of one million.
