A Survey on Acquisition, Tracking, and Pointing Mechanisms for Mobile Free-Space Optical Communications (2018, background): “For instance, 50-65 times more power can be transmitted by using a laser operating at 1520-1600 nm than those of operating at 780-850 nm for the same eye safety classification [34].”
Free-Space Optical Communication with Nonzero Boresight Pointing Errors (2014, methodology): “NUMERICAL RESULTS In this section, we adopt the system settings shown in Table I, which are used in many practical terrestrial FSO communication systems [2], [17], [39].”
The security of practical quantum key distribution (2008, background): “Obviously, the weather conditions influence heavily such losses; numerical values are available, see e.g. (Bloom et al., 2003; Kim and Korevaar, 2001).”
Free Space Optics: Current Applications and Future Challenges (2015, background): “Such as a human eye can be affected by Laser when eye comes in direct contact with it on a particular wavelength at a particular power like 10mW power for Class 1M laser in 1550 nm wavelength permissible by IEC (International Electro technical Commission) standards [20].”
Channel modeling for terrestrial free space optical links (2005, background): “INTRODUCTION The concept of transmitting information through the air by means of a modulated light signal is quite old, and although significant advances have been made over the past 10 years, the concept remains relatively simple: a narrow beam of light is launched at a transmission station, transm”
Survey on Free Space Optical Communication: A Communication Theory Perspective (2014, background): “transmitted beam and the usually small receiver field of view (FOV), building sway can effectively cause a communication interrupt [48], [58].”
