Optical wireless communication is an emerging and dynamic research and development
area that has generated a vast number of interesting solutions to very complicated
communication challenges. For example, high data rate, high capacity and minimum
interference links for short-range communication for inter-building communication,
computer-to-computer communication, or sensor networks. At the opposite extreme is
a long-range link in the order of millions of kilometers in the new mission to Mars
and other solar system planets.
