10 Gbit/s bidirectional optical wireless communication module for docking devices

This paper presents a miniaturized optical wireless transceiver with data rates of 5 Gbit/s and 10 Gbit/s for docking systems. This system provides bidirectional half and full-duplex communication over a distance of 5 cm with a BER <; 1E-11. The transceiver package achieves a small form-factor of 16.1 × 8.7 × 7.5 mm. Performance constraints of the transmission system are discussed including experimentally obtained results. Furthermore, an implementation of a 5 Gbit/s docking demonstrator is practically evaluated.
