This webpage posts links to the measurement data from our 1.87 km free-space optical communication link. Below find some preliminary data from our measurement setup. We intend to continue posting new data sets as they become available.

Details on the mesurement setup, procedures and analysis can be found in our journal paper:

A. Mostafa and S. Hranilovic, "Channel Measurement and Markov Modeling of an Urban Free-Space Optical Link," IEEE/OSA Journal of Optical Communications and Networking, vol.4, no.10, pp. 836-846, Oct. 2012.

You are free to use this data for your reseach projects, however, we ask that you please cite our paper in your work.

Feel free to contact Dr. Steve Hranilovic if you have any comments, suggestions or questions.

We also have a cataloge of web links to site concerned with wireless optical communications in general. Please follow this link to get to the Wireless Optical Communications Resource Webpage. I hope you find the site useful.
