Full-Duplex Bidirectional Indoor Steerable OWC System using Orthogonal Polarization States

Abstract

To avoid beam-steering at users, we propose the use of same wavelength for down and upstream to realize a full-duplex bidirectional architecture using off-the-shelf XFP transceivers. Symmetric data rate of 10 Gbps is experimentally demonstrated by implementing orthogonal polarization states to mitigate the reflection crosstalk
