Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Free space optical communication (FSOC) has been successfully demonstrated on the satellites, aircrafts, ships and vehicles, which is considered a promising solution for next-generation wireless communications. However, enormous scientific and technological challenges for FSOC still remain, such as reliable communication in the random media, robust tracking in the dynamics condition, novel architecture for FSOC network, and so on.
Therefore, we are thrilled to introduce Special Issue: Advances in Free-Space Optical Communications. It serves as a platform for scholars and experts to exchange ideas, share breakthroughs, and establish cooperation to promote the FSOC cutting-edge technology.
