Relay-Assisted Free-Space Optical Communication
This paper demonstrated relaying as a novel approach for long-range, free-space optical (FSO) communications. Previous practice overlooked the atmospheric turbulence distance dependency, thus missing the order-of- magnitude performance improvement obtained from relaying. This paper introduced the new topic of relay-assisted FSO communications: Canada, DoI:10.1109/JLT.2011.2160615); USA, DoI:10.1109/GLOCOMW.2012.6477749); China, DoI:10.1088/2040-8978/15/5/055408); Spain, DoI:10.1364/OE.20.016394; Greece, DoI:10.1364/JOCN.5.000092; UK, DoI:10.1109/JPROC.2012.2189788); Turkey, DoI:10.1109/NOC.2012.6249953; Iran, DoI:10.1109/JLT.2009.2032789; Lebanon, DoI:10.1109/TCOMM.2013.071813.120439; Saudi Arabia, DoI:10.1109/WCL.2013.042313.130138); and India, DoI:10.1109/LPT.2011.2176330. The paper led to an NSERC grant (STPSC356750) on relay-assisted quantum communication (DoI:10.1109/JLT.2009.2024554). This work received “Honorary Mention” in the Best Student Paper Award at the Canadian CECE 2008 (DoI:10.1109/CCECE.2008.4564737).
