Description
We present a free-space optical communication system that utilizes Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs) and a mechanical streak camera to achieve wireless data transmission. This system addresses the scalability and reliability limitations of conventional wired and multiplexed readouts, offering significant advantages such as reduced single point of failure risk and immunity to electromagnetic interference. Remarkably, under optimal conditions, this system can simultaneously read out more than three million individual data channels, surpassing the capabilities of most existing wireless communication systems. Through a demonstration using consumer-grade optical and image sensor components, we have proven the viability of this innovative approach and showcased its exceptional time resolution and cost-effectiveness. This approach can potentially transform data transmission in experiments where a large number of sensors are distributed over a wide area, such as in liquid and gaseous TPCs of substantial volume.
