Project Goals

The University of Arizona proposed a multidisciplinary research program that focuses on the development of enabling technologies for free-space optical (FSO) communication system and the interface between FSO and RF/microwave systems. The primary objectives of the proposal can be summarized as follows:

1)       Development of efficient interfaces and aggregation methods to enable hybrid RF-FSO transmission.

2)      Development of efficient coded modulation techniques capable of operating in strong atmospheric turbulence and deep fog.

3)       Development of efficient LDPC codes to improve the reliability of FSO systems.

4)     Study of ultimate channel capacity and techniques to achieve it.

5)       Experimental verification of proposed concepts.
