Abstract:
A wireless free space communications system, comprising:(a) a transmitter optical waveguide having a proximal end and a distal end; (b) transmitter imaging optics, optically coupled to said distal end of said transmitter optical waveguide, for transmitting optical signals into free space; (c) at least one receiver optical waveguide having a proximal end and a distal end; (d) for each said at least one receiver optical waveguide, receiver imaging optics optically coupled to said distal end of said at least one receiver optical waveguide, for receiving optical signals from free space; and (e) an optical communication network interface unit, optically coupled to said proximal ends of said transmitter optical waveguide and of said at least one receiver optical waveguide, for transmitting said transmitted optical signals to said transmitter optical waveguide and for receiving said received optical signals from said at least one receiver optical waveguide.
