Abstract

Smart programmable free-space optical interconnects and communication links are proposed using ultrafast nanosecond scanning speeds transmitters based on the wavelength multiplexed optical scanner (W-MOS) array. This paper describes a practical optical network architecture for smart free-space optical interconnects and communication links using agile transmitters. These transmitters use the wavelength multiplexed optical scanner (W-MOS), a peer member of the MOST family.
