The global free space optics market is projected to be US$ 296.2 Mn in 2020 to reach US$ 2736.59 Mn by 2030 at a CAGR of 24.9%.

Free Space Optics is an optical communication technology in which data is transmitted by circulation of light in free space allowing optical connectivity. FSO (Free Space Optics) acts as a medium between transceivers. Line of sight (LOS) is necessary for successful transmission of optical signal through air, outer space or vacuum. The FSO technology has been around since 8th century, now it is more evolved. FSO is LOS technology, where voice, video and data communication is achieved with maximum 10Gbps of data by bidirectional connectivity. FSO uses optical signals as the carrier frequencies to deliver point-to-point transmission of communication information through the atmosphere.

Rising demand of fast and flexible wireless communication technology- increasing demand for fast and flexible wireless communication technology in various areas such as defense and other commercial areas such as telecommunication is expected to be the major driving factor for free space optics market. Furthermore, low power usage per transmitted bit is likely to aid the growth of target market.

Patent Number: US7286766B2

Free space optical communication system with power level management

Abstract

A free space optical communication system includes an adaptive optical power regulator. The adaptive optical power regulator adapts to changes in effective loss associated with the free space optical path. In one embodiment the adaptive optical power regulator adapts to scintillation losses. In another embodiment, the adaptive optical power regulator further adapts to changes in atmospheric loss associated with changes in weather.

Patent Number: US7072543B2

Extended source transmitter for free space optical communication systems

Abstract

An apparatus for transmission of free space optical communication system signals employing a spatially-extended light source and method of using the same. A laser beam source directs an optical signal into a free end of a segment of multimode fiber. As the optical signal passes through the segment of multimode fiber, the optical signal is converted into a mode-scrambled optical signal. This mode-scrambled signal may then be used as a spatially-extended light source that is directed outward as an optical beam through the use of a collimating lens.

Patent Number: US20040086283A1

High dynamic receiver for free space optics application

Abstract

A receiver for an optics telecommunication system, the receiver comprises a first receiving device and means for focusing a received light beam carrying a signal towards such first receiving device. The receiver is characterized in that it further comprises at least a second receiving device and a beam splitter for splitting the focused light beam partially towards the first receiving device and partially towards the at least second receiving device. Tipically, the first receiver device is an APD diode while the second receiver device is a PIN diode. The telecommunication system is a Free Space Optics telecommunication system. A method is also described. The invention results in a high dynamic receiver. The dynamic of the invention receiver could be up to the sum of the dynamics of receivers provided with single receiving device (APD or PIN).
