FREE-SPACE OPTICAL COMMUNICATION SYSTEM FOR RAIL-GUIDED VEHICLES USING LIGHT-DIFFUSING FIBER AND FLUOROPHORE-DOPED FIBER

摘要

We propose two new free-space optical communication systems for rail-guided vehicles using light-diffusing fiber and fluorophore-doped fiber. The proposed systems will enable mobile bidirectional high-speed communication. The systems have a potential to be used for various kinds of rail-guided vehicles such as trains and industrial vehicles.
