Survey on Free Space Optical Communication: A Communication Theory Perspective (2014, methodology): “used in optical astronomy [278], and also envisaged for deepspace optical communication [14].”
Weather effects on hybrid FSO/RF communication link (2009, background): “Next generation high speed optical networks can employ FSO links in point-topoint or point-to-multipoint solutions [1], [2].”
Optical Communication in Space: Challenges and Mitigation Techniques (2017, background): “It will not only improve the sensitivity of the receiver but will also provide flexible multi-rate capabilities with simplified receiver design options [42].”
Modeling of Fog and Smoke Attenuation in Free Space Optical Communications Link Under Controlled Laboratory Conditions (2013, background): “FSO offers higher bandwidth, a low implementation cost, a licensed free spectrum (for the time being), a relatively lower power consumption and an excellent immunity to the electromagnetic spectrum and security compared to RF technologies [4], [5].”
An Introduction to Free-space Optical Communications (2010, background): “Unfortunately, both NRZ and RZ can lead to loss of clock synchronization if long strings of ones or zeros are transmitted.”
