Wireless Communications Using Light
In this lecture, Dominic O'Brien introduces the field, the challenges, and the promise for the future of this area of research.
The demand for wireless communications is growing exponentially, and the radio spectrum required to meet this demand is increasingly crowded, leading to predictions of a ‘spectrum crunch’. Using light for wireless transmission is an attractive alternative. Optical wireless can offer access to almost unlimited spectrum, albeit with many implementation challenges.
