2021-135 - Turbulence-Resilient Free-Space Optical Communications using Optoelectronic Beam Mixing

Free-space optical (FSO) communications Abstract USC researchers present a system to minimize turbulence interference in FSO communications. The method utilizes a frequency-offset Gaussian pilot tone transmitted along with the data signal, so that both undergo comparable turbulence and modal power coupling. Using a photodetector that optoelectronically...

2022-023 - Multiplexing of Structured Beams for High-Capacity THz Communications

Telecommunications Abstract To enhance communication system capacity, USC researchers have successfully utilized multiplexing of multiple co-propagating beams, with each having a mutually orthogonal spatial modal structure. When multiplexing two polarizations, M frequencies, and N spatial modes, data capacity can be increased by a factor of 2 x M...

2016-062 - Free-Space Optical Communications Using Orbital-Angular-Momentum Multiplexing and MIMO-Based Spatial Multiplexing

5G communication Transceivers Last mile access Abstract USC’s solution increases the capacity of Free-Space Optical (FSO) communications by combining Multiple- input-multiple-output (MIMO) based spatial multiplexing with orbital angular momentum (OAM) multiplexing. MIMO signal processing with OAM beam orthogonality can phenomenally reduce...
