Abstract
This paper presents the design of a multiple input multiple output (MIMO) optical wireless communication (OWC) system based on vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) arrays. The objective is to realize data rates in excess of 1 Tb/s for the backhaul of next generation indoor networks. The proposed design combines direct current optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DCO-OFDM) with spatial multiplexing to attain the target data rate subject to eye safety limitations. Following a bottom-up approach, the signal-to-interference-plus-noise (SINR) per channel is modeled using a Gaussian emission profile for laser beams by taking into account crosstalk in the MIMO channel. According to the SINR expression, the aggregate data rate is derived. The performance of the system is studied using computer simulations, and insightful remarks are provided on the configuration of various system parameters including the beam waist, the MIMO size and array dimensions.
