Abstract
We report an experimental proof of concept for speckle-based one-to-three non-line-of-sight (NLOS) free space optical (FSO) communication channels employing structured light shift-keying. A 3-bit gray image of resolution 100×100 pixels is encoded in Laguerre-Gaussian or Hermite-Gaussian beams and decoded using their respective intensity speckle patterns via trained 1D convolutional neural network. We have achieved an average classification accuracy of 96% and 93% using L G ml and H G pq beams, respectively, among all three channels. It demonstrates the directional independence and broadcasting capability of speckle-based decoding (SBD) in FSO communication using structured light. Further, we have extended the study from 2D to 1D SBD in one-to-three NLOS FSO communication channels to decrease the computational cost and to emphasize the importance of the 1D SBD approach.
