TL;DRAbstract

Welcome to this special issue on optical wireless communications (OWC), in the Transactions on Emerging Telecommunications Technologies, in which we explore the latest research and development in the area. During the last few years, we are seeing a large and steady growth of ultrafast broadband wireless access networks coming from the consumers in medical, educational, financial, commercial and entertainment sectors. There are two existing capable technologies offering these services, which are radio and OWC. While radio offers mobility and ubiquitous feature for indoor and outdoor communications, it suffers from modulation bandwidth bottleneck, whereas OWC offer the flexibility in deployment, security and ultra-high modulation bandwidth. Recently, there is a considerable interest in both outdoor and indoor OWC. The main aim of this special issue is to highlight the latest development in OWC systems area, from physical design to system performance and OWC applications. Unique channels
