Water covers 71% of the Earth's surface, where the steady increase in oceanic activities has
promoted the need for reliable maritime communication technologies. The existing maritime …

Optical wireless communication (OWC) refers to transmission in unguided propagation
media through the use of optical carriers, ie, visible, infrared (IR), and ultraviolet (UV) bands …

New high-data-rate multimedia services and applications are evolving continuously and
exponentially increasing the demand for wireless capacity of fifth-generation (5G) and …

With the ever-increasing demand for data and the radio frequency spectrum becoming
congested, free space optics (FSO) may find a niche for situations where fiber is too …

Quantum entanglement is the main resource to endow the field of quantum information
processing with powers that exceed those of classical communication and computation. In …

This manuscript presents a survey on new challenges in wireless communication systems
and discusses recent approaches to address some recently raised problems by the wireless …

Free space optical (FSO) communication technology, also known as optical wireless
communications, has regained a great interest over the last few years. In some cases, FSO …

This article presents an overview of optical wireless (OW) communication systems that
operate both in the short-(personal and indoor systems) and the long-range (outdoor and …

This chapter is an introduction to the near-Earth laser communication technology. By near-
Earth, we mean high-altitude platforms and Earth-orbiting satellites. Justification for high …

In this paper, we analyze the end-to-end performance of dual-hop free-space optical (FSO)
fixed gain relaying systems under heterodyne detection and intensity modulation with direct …
