Abstract

With FSO communication, maximum data transfer rates up to 2.5 Gbps is possible, unlike the maximum data transfer rates of 622Mbps offered by RF communication systems. Using air as a medium FSO technology can transmit voice, video and data. Transmission using FSO technology is relatively simple. In this paper, we propose a prototype of audio transmission system using inexpensive commercially available LASER. Experimental result shows that high quality audio can be transmitted with maximum distance of 6 m. Careful considerations can make it an attractive alternative to introduce in the market for applications like communication among buildings within a large campus and other indoor and short distance outdoor places without the complexities of cables.
