New Prospects of Optical Wireless Communication Systems Exploiting VCSEL-Based Transmitters
Full text linkIn the last decades, Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers (VCSELs) emerged as a dominant technology for shortreach high-data rate networks thanks to several advantageous features. These include low power consumption, high modulation speeds, low costs, and compact size. More recently, these inherent characteristics of the VCSELs have also made them exceptionally suited for a variety of Optical Wireless Communication (OWC) applications, particularly for short-distance links, up to a few meters. This paper reviews a range of new and promising applications for VCSELs within emerging OWC domains: Data Centers (DCs), space, and harsh environment. We present and discuss different VCSEL-based OWC systems that were designed, implemented, and tested in these emerging scenarios. For the DCs scenario, we present a novel approach to establish OWC links able to reach data rates up to 40 Gbit/s with a single VCSEL. In the space environment, innovative OWC systems can support data communication among electronic elements placed in line-of-sight outside the spacecraft or inside a small satellite. VCSELs can be also exploited for data transmission in the very harsh environment of high-energy physics experiments. Here, a 10 Gbit/s OWC system was designed for the Board-to-Board (B2B) link in High Energy Physics (HEP) experiments. Since space and HEP applications exhibit extreme conditions, the OWC systems and, particularly, the VCSELs were tested to assess their behavior under strong mechanical, thermal, and radiation stress
(International) Law as Inter-legality
No full textThe article aims to account for international law as partaking in the transformation of law as inter-legality. The authors show that thinking in terms of domestic law and international law, whether hermetically sealed off or in Kelsenian monist terms, makes little sense anymore, since both international law and domestic law have become inter- legality.
By focusing on judicial reasoning, the article first provides for an illustration of how inter-legality was pioneered. Environment, economy, human rights and trade are the domains where most inter-legality is seen at work as an enlightening notion. Inter- legality is embraced in the analysis as material interconnectedness overcoming the legal closure of discrete orders. Such notion is distinguished from other influential ones.
The essay points out that inter-legality can also have a normative function for a better explanation, understanding and managing of the present transformations of law. Inter-legality needs a corresponding attitude and reasoning, based on carefully pondering claims sourced from concurring/conflicting legalities, in order not to take a one-sided course, one which would leave unexplored or unconsidered the possible rightness (or wrongness) and contribution to justice from the different perspectives of other separate legal regimes, equally involved
