Free-space Optical Communications

Free-space optical communication (FSOC) is the transmission of an optical signal wirelessly through atmosphere. Similar to a fiber optic network, the FSOC systems uses direct detection or coherent modulation format to transmits and receive the optical signal.   Distances at which the signal can transmit range from between buildings to between satellites.   FSOC has been used in commercial, research and DoD applications.
