Experimental Platform for Free-Space Optical Communication in Water
Kousal, Martin ; Fedra, Zbyněk (referee) ; Král, Jan (advisor)
For the needs of underwater drones and seabed exploration, a live image from a camera mounted on the drone needs to be transmitted to the operator. Therefore, a hardware platform has been developed to research and experimentally verify the possibilities of cable-free optical communication in an aquatic environment. In this paper, the possibilities of communications in aquatic environments and their limitations are discussed. Furthermore, a communication chain of transmitter and receiver is designed and then simulated in Python. This proposed communication chain is then implemented. The FPGA configuration of the transmitter and receiver is described, and handlers and scripts are created to receive and process the transmitted signal. Finally, real measurements are performed in air and also mainly in a water environment, where the functionality of the whole chain is verified. In the last part of the paper, possible improvements and their impact on the whole platform are outlined.

Short path optical wireless link design
Kovář, Ondřej ; Látal, Jan (referee) ; Diblík, Jan (advisor)
This diploma thesis is focused on design and prototyping of wireless optical link for an indoor usage. In the beginning of the thesis frequency spectrums of infrared, visible and ultraviolet light are described by its typical qualities such as values of attenuation or reflection capability. On the basis of this analysis, a proper wavelength has been chosen for usage at the engineered communication system. Next part is devoted to selection of suitable communication components on basis of its declared qualities. In the following chapter this qualities are in carefully measured and after that they are compared with values provided by its manufacturer. The following section is devoted to design schemes of transceiver modules. After completion of the design the manufacturing of PCB, mounting components and the analysis of their distribution was described. The last part of this thesis deals with testing of created prototype in terms of maximum transmission distances and operating frequencies. At the very end of this project, in one small section ways to improve system characteristics was discussed.

Indoor optical wireless link design
Kaňa, Leoš ; Tošovský, Petr (referee) ; Hudcová, Lucie (advisor)
In last years phenomena of wireless communication technologies became a primary interest of big development laboratories whole world. Domain of point to point links which are realized by laser technology with narrow beam divergence and very sensitive photo-detectors is ordinarily used these days. This trend of using light waves as carrier medium turned interests of scientist to the sphere of wide area networks which is domain of wi-fi radio technologies. One of new trends in this sphere is also in-door free space optics. With expansion which leads to using LED's in everyday applications and with technological progress of last years, also grows tendency of most effective utilization of LED systems. The result of this effort is thought which considerate LED as source of artificial lighting and source of carrier medium for modulated signal. This kind of device must fulfill hygienic standards for illumination and also must be able to work with high frequency by which is signal modulated. These systems can provide links with sufficient capacity in order of hundred megabits.

Radiation pattern shaping of the optical transmitter
Csonka, Gábor ; Němeček, Jiří (referee) ; Wilfert, Otakar (advisor)
This work deals with questions of space assembling of several optics beams. There are mentioned the base features and values of space distribution of beam intensity in laser beam. The forms of diffusion of space localized light that is described by beam optics. There is a characterization of Gaussian beam, and diffraction of several beams. There is mentioned a simulation an assembling of two and more beams. It contains model of assembling incoherent beams. The work also includes suggestion of final layout of laser beams, which form optical transmitter with radiating characteristics, resistant to defects evoked by atmosphere.
