The Black Box-Pico product range offers cost effective, reliable free space laser

transmission for 100Mbps Ethernet data through free space.

The transmission technique used in the Black Box devices provides transparent wire

speed data transfer with virtually zero latency, because it uses infrared light as a

transmission medium, Black Box systems do not require frequency licenses and the

transmission is not affected by electro-magnetic interference or radio frequency

interference. The Black Box Pico link can be considered as a virtual fiber in the air, with

standard Cat 5 connection at each end.

Each product is built using highest quality electronic components for operation in even the

most adverse conditions. Metal housing gives a robust, waterproof environment for the

electronics, with IP65 isolation rating. The shield protects the device from direct sunlight

and provides extra air isolation.

Invisible laser radiation, Class 3B laser product. Looking directly into the laser

beam can cause permanent damage to the eye!

2Optical free space transmission

The principle used in free space laser transmission is very similar to the one is used for

fiber optic transmission. The difference is while fiber optic devices use electronics and

optics optimised for optical fiber, free space communication equipment deploys

electronics and optics optimised for transmission through the air. Also you can observe

the similarity in the transmission properties. No galvanic contact, no ground loops, no

need for surge protection, noise immunity, high bandwidth.

What makes it unique – and difficult to design – is that it does not require any

transmission medium like fiber or copper, but has to cope with the dynamically changing

parameters. For instance while the attenuation of an optical fiber is constant, the

attenuation of the atmosphere between the laser units can change dramatically

(depending on the weather conditions).

The Black Box heads are usually placed on top of buildings, where clear line of sight is

guaranteed and the beam cannot be interrupted.

In the head the incoming signal is amplified, encoded, then drives the laser diode. The

transmitter optics assures the proper beam shape. The receiver optics perceives and directs

the transmitted signal to the photodiode. The diode converts it back into electrical, then it

is decoded, amplified and converted.

There are several things that can influence the quality of transmission. We can classify

those factors into three main groups.

•System conditions - transmitting power, transmitters wavelength, beam

divergence, receiver optics diameter, receiver sensitivity, parameters of optical

system and casing. These parameters determine the system’s characteristic at a

certain distance and are controlled by system design and factory set up.

•Weather conditions - molecular absorption, particle scattering and turbulence.

These elements have great effect on the operational conditions of the system. We

do not have very much influence on them; proper product selection can eliminate

the undesirable effects.

•Environmental conditions - building movements, direct sunlight, refractive

surfaces. These are also key factors related to the installation sites and can be

controlled by appropriate site survey and system installation.
