Paper Abstract
Recently there has been strong interest in wireless optical (WO) communication link applications in airplanes and
avionics platforms for size, weight, power, cost, and electromagnetic interference (EMI) reduction. Wireless optical
link has additional advantage of providing network security because the optical signal from wireless optical link is well
confined within an airplane or avionics vehicle. In this paper we discuss some potential wireless optical link
applications in commercial airplanes and the challenges in the implementation of wireless optical links for these
applications. We will present our experimental results on using white LED (WLED), visible laser source and free-space
small-form-factor (SFF) optical transceivers to demonstrate the viability of applying wireless optical links in avionics
platforms.
