Optical Wireless & Free-Space Communication

This training provides an in-depth exploration of optical wireless and free-space communication (OWC/FSC) systems, which use light to transmit data through the air or space without the need for fiber optics. Attendees will gain an understanding of the physical principles, system components, applications, and challenges associated with implementing these high-speed, secure, and license-free communication technologies.

• Fundamentals of optical wireless and free-space communication
• Channel modeling: attenuation, turbulence, and pointing error effects
• System architecture and key hardware components
• Modulation and coding techniques used in OWC/FSC
• Applications in terrestrial, satellite, and underwater environments
• Performance analysis and comparison with RF systems
• Security aspects and quantum communication potential
• Design considerations and real-world deployment case studies

• Communication systems engineers
• Optical and photonics researchers
• Wireless network designers and integrators
• Technical staff involved in high-speed or secure data transmission
• Government and defense communication specialists
• Graduate students and academic researchers in related fields
