Over the last three decades, interest in Infrared (IR) technology as a

medium to convey information has grown considerably. This is reflected

by the increasing number of devices such as laptops, PDAs, and mobile

phones that incorporate optical wireless transceivers and also by the

increasing number of optical wireless links available for indoor and

outdoor use. The popularity of IR is based on the advantages it has over

radio including unregulated bandwidth, immunity to radio interference,

and inherent security. Optical Wireless Communications examines some of

the most important features of optical wireless communication systems.

It considers the benefits and limitations of IR as a medium conveying

information wirelessly and compares the advantages and disadvantages of

infrared to microwave and other radio systems. It also details the

evolution of IR communication systems and describes atmospheric and

other types of data transmission limitations. The book presents design

fundamentals of optical concentrators, as well as a review of some of

the most important receiver optical front-ends (containing imaging or

non-imaging concentrators and optical filters), including an explanation

of the different sources of infrared noise and an introduction to eye

safety. It also describes optical wireless transmitter and receiver

design issues, typical modulation, coding, and multiple access

techniques, and introduces IrDA protocols and wireless IR networking.
