Integrated optical wireless transceivers

Aims

• To demonstrate compact potentially low cost optical transceivers for in-building free space networks.
• To develop long wavelength (1500nm) emitter and detector arrays optimised for free space data transmission.
• To evaluate the performance of such transceivers in a real operating environment, transmitting ATM computer and video data at 155Mbit/s.
• To investigate extending this architecture to a Gbit/s free space optical network.
