Abstract:
We demonstrated significant improvements of the beam steering in a OWC system, with the use silicon micro-lenses. Achieving angles of 51.3 deg horizontally and 22.4 deg vertically, at 10Gbps data rate, by moving the light source, using piezo-electric actuators, on the focal plane of a lens.
