Abstract:
An ultrafast omnidirectional wireless data transfer apparatus and system. The ultrafast omnidirectional wireless data transfer apparatus includes an array of laser diodes, an array of fast detectors, and a connector for connecting to a sensor, a computer, and/or a network. The array of laser diodes, and the array of fast detectors are housed in a multifaceted geometry in order to provide communication coverage in all directions. In one aspect, each laser in the array of laser diodes operates at different wavelengths. In another aspect, the ultrafast omnidirectional wireless data transfer apparatus includes field programmable gate arrays. In yet another aspect, the ultrafast omnidirectional wireless data transfer apparatus includes an array of collimators that are connected to an optical combiner. In yet another alternate aspect, an ultrafast omnidirectional wireless data transfer system includes several ultrafast omnidirectional wireless data transfer apparatuses which are optically coupled together and communicate in different wavelengths.
