Welcome to the Free-Space Optical Communications Technology Roadmap.

  • Technology Roadmap Identified as 3SLC - Free-Space Optical Communications
This indicates a Level 3, Individual-Technology Level Roadmap and describes the functions, uses, history, present, and future surround Laser (optical) Communication on Satellites.

Roadmap Overview

Free-space optical communication (FSOC) utilizes optical carriers in the visible and infrared (IR) spectrum to transmit information wirelessly. This combined spectrum is 2,000 times larger than that used in RF technologies. The narrow beam of the optical signal, along with FSOC's point-to-point architecture, enables energy-efficient and secure communication links. As 6G networks demand advancements in data rates, channel capacity, power efficiency, and low latency, FSOC emerges as a promising solution. This roadmap explores the implementation of coherent FSOC for next-generation wireless communications.
