the unguided propagation of optical waves. The past 30 years have
seen significant improvements in this technique - a wireless
communication solution for the current millennium - that
offers an alternative to radio systems; a technique that could gain
attractiveness due to recent concerns regarding the potential
effects of radiofrequency waves on human health.
The aim of this book is to look at the free space optics that are
already used for the exchange of current information; its many
benefits, such as incorporating channel properties, propagation
models, link budgets, data processing including coding, modulation,
standards and concerns around health and safety (IEC 60825 or FCC -
Class 1 for example), etc. will become indispensable over the next
decade in addressing computer architectures for short-, medium- and
long-range telecommunications as we move from gigabytes to
terabytes per second.
Wireless Optical Communications is an excellent tool for any
engineer wanting to learn about wireless optical communications or
involved in the implementation of real complete systems. Students
will find a wide range of information and useful concepts such as
those relating to propagation, optics and photometry, as well the
necessary information on safety.
