    Board-to-backplane server interconnection links in the presence of crosstalk and turbulence inducing signal interference and fades.
    Fig. 1. Board-to-backplane server interconnection links in the presence of crosstalk and turbulence inducing signal interference and fades.
    Schematic diagram of experimental setup of FSO links for board-to-backplane server interconnections in the presence of air turbulence. Laser1 is on and Laser2 is off; some of the irradiance from Laser1 crosses over to photodiode PD2. The curved lines represent the airflow current from the blow heater.
