We include the effect of laser phase mitigation and how it affects system performace.
We highlight several aspects of the nature of the coherent optical wireless channel
We discuss the ambient light coupling efficiency in coherent receivers
Using Gaussian optics, we provide a detailed framework for the power budget analysis using ABCD matrix theory.
We highlight the relation between the transmitter power receiver area product PTAr and the overall system performance.
We compare the performance of coherent and IM/DD optical wireless
Our results indicate that 2 Gb/s and 10 Gb/s data rates can be easily sustained at 3 m distance over a circular coverage area of 1 m radius using Class-1 eye safe lasers.
