About
Atsushi Kanno is a leading researcher in high-speed free-space optical (FSO) communications, with a focus on enabling robust, mobile, and ultra-high-capacity wireless links. His major contributions center on overcoming the fundamental challenge of beam misalignment in mobile FSO systems. Kanno pioneered a three-stage high-speed optical beam stabilizer combined with a two-dimensional photodetector array-based diversity receiver. This innovative architecture, paired with maximum-ratio combining digital signal processing, effectively mitigates link disruptions caused by transmitter motion. His experimental work has demonstrated a landmark 40-Gbit/s mobile FSO link using PAM-4 modulation, achieving error-free performance within a 7% forward error correction threshold even with a transmitter moving at 400 mm/s. This breakthrough, detailed in his 2024 and 2025 publications, directly supports the development of high-speed connectivity for support robots and autonomous systems. With his key papers already garnering citations in the rapidly evolving field of optical wireless, Kanno’s work is establishing foundational techniques for the next generation of agile, gigabit-per-second mobile communications.
