    Area of Science:

    • Optical Engineering
    • Wireless Communication
    • Photonics

    Background:

    • Indoor high-speed networks often use multimode fibers, which produce speckled beams with non-uniform irradiance.
    • Speckled beams can lead to a variable signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at the receiver, impacting network performance.
    • Homogenizing light distribution is crucial for stable and reliable optical wireless communication.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To design and demonstrate a diffractive beam diffuser for homogenizing irradiance in optical free-space cells.
    • To transform native speckled beams into circular flat-top distributions.
    • To ensure a constant signal-to-noise ratio for indoor high-speed wireless networks.

    Main Methods:

    • Design of a diffractive optical element using established optical design principles.
    • Fabrication of the diffractive beam diffuser.
    • Experimental testing and characterization of the device's performance in a simulated network environment.

    Main Results:

    • The diffractive beam diffuser successfully transformed speckled beams into circular flat-top irradiance distributions.
    • The device demonstrated the ability to shape narrow line-of-sight optical wireless cells.
    • Performance was validated for operation in the Gbps range, suitable for high-speed networks.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed diffractive beam diffuser is an effective solution for homogenizing light in optical wireless communication systems.
    • This technology enhances signal stability and guarantees a constant SNR, crucial for high-speed indoor networks.
    • The device shows promise for improving the reliability and performance of Gbps-range optical wireless communication.
