Characterising Interleaver Length in a Turbulent Deployed Terrestrial Free-Space Optical Link
Kadir Gümüş, Vincent van Vliet, Menno van den Hout +3
We investigate the correlation between interleaver length and turbulence for a deployed terrestrial free-space optical link spanning 4.6 km. Using 24 hours of measurements, we show…
Mitigating Outages in a 4.6-km FSO Link via Mode-Diverse Reception: An Experimentally Validated Digital Twin Approach
Jonas Krimmer, Vincent van Vliet, Menno van den Hout +3
Terrestrial coherent FSO requires mitigating turbulence-induced coupling losses. We experimentally validate a "Digital Twin" channel model against fading statistics from a 4.6-km l…
Reducing Turbulence-Induced Outages in a Deployed Terrestrial Free-Space Optical Communication Link via Interleaving
Kadir GümüÅ, Vincent van Vliet, Menno van den Hout +3
We present an experimental study of data interleaving for terrestrial free-space optical communication over a 4.6~km urban testbed. Results demonstrate a two-order-of-magnitude red…
High-Capacity Urban Terrestrial Free-Space Optical Communication Links at km-Scale
Vincent van Vliet, Menno van den Hout, Eduward Tangdiongga +1
Free-space optical communication links can enable high-capacity wireless connectivity in urban areas. We discuss the feasibility, challenges, and recent developments for high-capac…
Coherent Free-Space Optical Communications with Concurrent Turbulence Characterization in a Terrestrial Urban Link
Vincent van Vliet, Menno van den Hout, Kadir GümüŠ+2
We present a 19-day joint measurement of optical turbulence and coherent data communications over a 4.6 km urban FSO link, providing empirical insights into turbulence effects on t…
Experimental Investigation of Availability in a 4.6 km Terrestrial Urban Coherent Free-Space Optical Communications Link
Vincent van Vliet, Menno van den Hout, Kadir GümüŠ+2
We measured the outage probability of a 4.6-km urban free-space optical communication link over six days. High-speed power measurements reveal slow and fast fading effects, with li…
