At LHFT, our Optical Communication Lab is dedicated to advancing the future of high-speed data transmission, with a primary focus on Free-Space Optical (FSO) communication alongside fiber-based systems.
Our lab is equipped with a comprehensive suite of high-end measurement instruments, including high-speed oscilloscopes for eye diagram analysis, bit error testers for precise performance evaluation, and vector network analyzers to characterize system frequency responses. To push the boundaries of FSO links, we utilize large collimators and high-power lasers, supported by a sophisticated transmitter setup featuring Mach-Zehnder modulators (MZMs) and ultra-sensitive, high-speed photodetectors.
Our lab features an extensive collection of cutting-edge components designed for Intelligent Reflecting Surfaces (IRS); by leveraging mirror arrays and state-of-the-art Spatial Light Modulators (SLM), we can dynamically shape beam profiles to maximize data rates and system flexibility. Furthermore, we address the real-world challenges of optical wireless links using a specialized emulation chamber that emulates atmospheric turbulences. These effects are analyzed in real-time with a high-end IR camera, allowing us to develop advanced compensation techniques and maintain robust connectivity even in unstable environments.
