Description

Isiaka Alimi and co-authors survey in 2024 free-space optical communication, which beams data through air with light for next-generation networks. The approach promises fast, low-delay links without cables, suiting 5G and beyond. Yet turbulence, weather, and pointing errors degrade real links, so the survey gathers both the enabling tools and the fixes in current use.

Topics include adaptive optics, modulation choices, and error correction codes. Hybrid designs pairing light links with radio or terahertz backup raise reliability. Artificial intelligence tuning is an emerging trend for dynamic conditions. The authors map prospects and open problems for wider deployment.
