High‑Speed Wireless Communications Using Reflected Laser Light (System and Method of High‑Speed Wireless Communications Using Reflected Laser Light, Tech ID: 23‑007)
Technology Overview: This technology enables high‑speed wireless data transmission using reflected laser light, offering an alternative to traditional RF‑based communications. The system modulates data onto a laser beam and recovers information from reflected optical signals, enabling secure, high‑bandwidth communication without direct line‑of‑sight receivers. This approach reduces spectrum congestion and is inherently resistant to RF interference, making it suitable for dense or sensitive environments.
Industry Pain Point: RF‑based wireless systems face bandwidth limitations, interference, and security vulnerabilities.
NJIT Solution: This optical method enables high‑data‑rate, interference‑resistant wireless communications using reflected laser signals.
