Abstract:
This invention pertains to the field of free-space optical (FSO) communications, and specifically to the realization of functional FSO optical transceiver terminals located at remote electrically unpowered locations within a communications network. A remote unpowered FSO terminal located at a far-end location receives necessary optical power from a powered base station location (near-end) required for all optical amplification functions necessary for NRZ or RZ format signals within the spectral range of 900 nm to 1480 nm as well as an Ultra Short Pulsed Laser (USPL) centered at 1560 nm at the far-end location. A transmitting node identified as the near-end transmits an optical signal identified as a pump signal to a remote location classified as the far-end node over a free space medium, such as the atmosphere, where the far-end node location does not have available electrical power for operation of electro-optic components required for transmission and retransmission functions.

Claim (Index 7):
The free-space optical (FSO) communications network in  claim 1  wherein the remote unpowered transceiver includes a medium to amplify the received data signal along with received pump power and to relay the said optically amplified data signal to another transceiver or a sequence of transceivers, thereby proving either a single-hop or a multi-hop transmission path for data.
