27、ntly free-space optical links (FSOLs) are becoming attractive transport media for short-range fixed wireless applications. FSOL has the following advantages: broadband transmission is available; transmit/receive equipment is compact; there is almost no need for coordination to avoid interference bet

28、ween FSOLs. Therefore, in order to expand its current and future applications, technical and operational aspects of FSOL need to be addressed through theoretical analyses as well as experimental approaches as described in this Report. 2 Description on system configuration and basic parameters 2.1 Ex

29、planation of parameters 2.1.1 Transmitter side 2.1.1.1 Emission area, AeEmission area, Ae, is the surface of the transmitting window expressed in square metre (m2). The emission area is a parameter used for the determination of a laser safety class. 2.1.1.2 Emission power, PeEmission power, Pe, is t

30、he optical power transmitted through the Emission area, Ae, expressed either in dBm or in mW. It is one of the other parameter used for the determination of the laser safety class and used to calculate the link margin. The power measurement should be performed outside the FSO and as close as possibl

31、e to the FSO emission windows. If possible, the measurement 6 Rep. ITU-R F.2106-1 should be performed transmitting “0” and “1” with equal probabilities of occurrence. The power is the averaged value of the high level value (“1” bit) and of the low level value (“0” bit). For safety reason, it is nece

32、ssary to determine the accuracy of the power measurement, e.g., Pe= 10 dBm 1 dB. Also for safety reasons, if the terminal has an automatic divergence adjustment, the Peis defined for the minimum divergence value, and, for the terminal with Automatic Transmit Power Control (ATPC), the maximum Pevalue

33、 is the maximum value of the emission power. For terminals having a multibeam system, the Peon each Aeand the total (sum of the beams mW) should be indicated. The total is the sum of all the Pefor each emission terminal when all beams converge and this parameter is used for safety reason. The distan

34、ce between two Aewith the beam divergence should also be indicated. For terminals having a holographic optical diffuser to achieve a super-extended source, in order to provide a high level of diffusion transmission efficiency with a controlled diffusion area, and increase the transmission efficiency

35、 with a class 1 (following the IEC 60825-1 standard 4) configuration; the Pebased on Aeshould be indicated. 2.1.1.3 Beam divergence, Bdor The beam divergence, Bd, is the maximum value of the angles between the beam central axis corresponding to the maximum power density and the direction correspondi

36、ng to a power density 3 dB lower. This value is important for the determination of the laser safety class and to calculate the link margin. The value can be expressed as half angle or full angle, but should be noticed; and the unit is usually expressed in milliradian (mrad). In case of adjustment di

37、vergence, the minimum and the maximum values should be indicated. 2.1.1.4 Wavelength, Waor The wavelength, Waor , is the central wavelength and its full width at half maximum (FWHM). The central wavelength value is also important for laser safety class calculation. The unit should be in nanometres (

38、e.g.: = 849 2 nm). If there is a wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) transmission, it could be easier to indicate the spectral range. 2.1.1.5 Laser safety class The FSO terminal safety class follows the IEC 60825 normative reference and has to be controlled by a certified laboratory. The 1 or 1M

39、safety class for FSO terminal should be preferred. 2.1.2 Receiver side 2.1.2.1 Receiver area, ArReceiver area, Ar, is the complete receiver area or surface through the receiver window and the unit can be measured in metres squared (m2). 2.1.2.2 Sensitivity, SrSensitivity, Sr, is the minimum optical

40、level with a considered data quality transmission (for instance, BER should be better than 106; i.e., BER 106). The unit should be dBm and the measurement should be achieved close to the FSO receiver window. Rep. ITU-R F.2106-1 7 If the terminal has multi-receiver windows, Sron each Arand the total

41、sensitivity should be indicated. If the terminal has a reception system formed by micro-sphere doped, A, by doping element, A, according to the resonance wavelength of the incidental beam, B, interfaced with a laser transmitter, C, with definite wavelength and adjustable power offering an energy con

42、tribution in link at the frequency of resonance of the doping elements contained in the micro-spheres; the terminal, D, sensitivity, Sr, will be the sensitivity of such a system with the same considered data quality transmission (Fig. 1). FIGURE 1 Terminal with micro-sphere 2.1.2.3 Saturation sensit

43、ivity, Ss Saturation sensitivity, Ss, is the maximum optical level with a considered data quality transmission (for instance, BER should be better than 106; i.e., BER 106); with and without automatic attenuation control (AAC). The unit should be in dBm and the measurement should be achieved closer t

44、o the FSO receiver windows. If the terminal has multireceiver windows, Sson each Arand the total saturation sensitivity should be indicated. The difference between the saturation sensitivity (with AAC if any) and the sensitivity gives the dynamic range. 2.1.2.4 Field of view, Fv The Field of view (F

45、OV), Fv, is the angle between the central axis and the 3 dB value angle detection. The value can be expressed as half angle or full angle, but has to be mentioned; and the unit can be expressed in milliradian (mrad). 2.1.2.5 System loss, AsysThis element shall be used as an indication and it is not

46、used for laser safety class and link margin calculation, due to the emission and receiver measurement points. The unit should be in dB. 2.2 System configuration Basic configuration of a FSOL for the FS applications is illustrated in Fig. 2. 8 Rep. ITU-R F.2106-1 FIGURE 2 Basic configuration of FSOL

47、In many FSOLs, the function of electrical/optical (E/O) conversion or optical/electrical conversion (O/E) is performed using a laser diode (LD) or a light emitting diode (LED) in the transmitter (Tx) and using a photo diode (PD) or an avalanche photo diode (APD) in the receiver (Rx), respectively. R

48、ecently, some systems have implemented the WDM technique in which more than one optical carrier can be accommodated in a couple of transmitter and receiver to increase the link capacity 1, 2. Many types of the FSO equipment use the intensity modulation of transmitting laser beam to send binary data

49、in both directions through a transmitter/receiver couple at each end. The equipment is used for point-to-point, bilateral links and used in line of sight (LoS) conditions. Another type of equipment to make WDM technology, such as fibre amplifiers and WDM components available in the FSOL configurations have been recently demonstrated where free-space optical beam should be coupled into a single mode fibre (SMF) with a good efficiency 3. Since the effective aperture of the SMF is very small,
