Free-space optical communications (FSOC), which use lasers for data transmission, are a promising approach for achieving high-speed links between aircraft, spacecraft, and ground stations. However, ...
Experiments show optical fibers could be key to realizing a flexible, distributed architecture for high-speed data links in aircraft PISCATAWAY, N.J., Dec. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Free-space optical ...
These systems use mechanical gimbals to redirect the optical components as needed to maintain a link with another stationary or moving transceiver. However, aircraft would need multiple of them to ...
