Abstract

In today's communication scenario where it has become increasingly important to meet the high data rate requirement, we have to look for alternative ways of communicating rather than depending fully on the prevalent mainstream communication systems. Free space optical (FSO) communication proves to be one of the best candidates to meet these requirements. It resolves the last mile bottleneck connectivity issues especially in local area access networks and acts as an addition to conventional RF/microwave links. This is because of its inherent advantages of license free long range communication, high bandwidth, high data rates, low cost implementation, relatively low power requirement and security compared to existing RF technologies. This paper reviews all the possible opportunities and attached challenges with FSO implementation.
