Modeling data and high power over free-space optic channels Abstract: Transmitting modulated data using different schemes along with high power light over free-space optic (FSO) channel under different weather conditions and scintillation strengths will be discussed. Multi-junction Photonic Power Converter (PPC) is used to detect the transmitted high power. Simulation results exploiting the newly added Universal FSO Channel component to OptiSystem software will be presented. New temporal scintillation models including Negative Exponential, Malag and K-model will be discussed. In addition, spatial scintillation model and its effect on the transmitted data and high power will be addressed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Modélisation de données et haute puissance sur les canaux optiques en espace libre Résumé : La transmission de données modulées à l'aide de différents schémas ainsi que d'une lumière haute puissance sur un canal optique en espace libre (FSO) dans différentes conditions météorologiques et intensités de scintillation sera discutée. Le convertisseur de puissance photonique multi-jonction (PPC) est utilisé pour détecter la puissance élevée transmise. Les résultats de simulation exploitant le composant Universal FSO Channel nouvellement ajouté au logiciel OptiSystem seront présentés. De nouveaux modèles de scintillation temporelle, notamment le modèle exponentiel négatif, Malag et K, seront discutés. De plus, le modèle de scintillation spatiale et ses effets sur les données transmises et la puissance élevée seront abordés.

Happy New Year everyone and welcome to the first LMAG meeting of 2025. According to the Doodle poll distributed the second week of this month the majority selected Wednesdays at 4 pm Eastern Time for our meeting. Continuing the tradition of my predecessors, it will be held during the third week of the month. WebEx Links have already been generated for the next 6 months. Agenda: - Roll Call - Last Meeting November 18 - minutes approval. - Additions to Agenda (New Business)? Coordinator Report: - Still getting up to Speed with Life Member Committee (LMC) and R7 procedures - Am attending the IEEE Operations Committee meeting in Toronto Feb 7 to 9. May learn info to pass on at our next meeting - 2025 Life Members AgeTech Conference will be June 11-13 at Tufts University, Boston (https://lifemembersconference.ieee.org/) - Thursday, 23 January 2025 3:00 - 4:30 PM ET: WEBINAR - Aging and Longevity: IEEE AgeTech Activities Go here (https://enotice.mmsend.com/link.cfm?r=2M-XmZCWrBGSR8iIWm0IMg~~&pe=0jv9lFfrNnakiODFORYCz8iaZ2CCiB1jtdUVDuvP1Tia59Kn17bMPUla1GvjUpqKea5OdG1J01sqpVzJEuSvSQ~~&t=61RfsgLpzgsuRQYiZOennA~~) to register. - From last meeting: “remind the region Sections and LMAGs officers to be preparing for full participation in the nomination process for 2025 LMC awards” - John Harris noted, at last meeting, that the nomination for Canada LMAG award is due next March, and the Regional and Group nominations are due in April. - MGA will distribute a set of Word documents to support the process.
