Abstract

Optical wireless transmission is proposed for the implementation of broadband wireless LANs. An optical cellular structure, which uses holograms to define optical cells and high levels of optical concentration in the receivers, will maximise the performance of such a system. The bootstrapping circuit technique can be used in the optical receiver design to give wideband and low noise operation in the presence of a large photodiode capacitance. Results for a 50Mbit/s link that operates over a 5m2 cell size are given.
