Abstract

We propose a natural step in freespace optical communications that is wireless. Namely, we propose the use of inertialess optical scanners as the agile free space light routing method within a multi-user free-space optical wireless network to realize all-optical advanced wireless networking. For instance, optical intersatellite links can use the highly accurate and fast beam pointing capabilities of the scanner to enhance the tradeoff between link distance and data rates
