Abstract
An optical transceiver such as used, for example, in a wireless optical network (WON), includes multiple laser sources including a first laser source configured to transmit a first 5 output channel beam having a first optical characteristic and at least a second laser source configured to transmit a second output channel beam having a second optical characteristic; multiple detectors including a first detector configured to detect a first input channel beam having the first optical characteristic and at least a second detector configured to detect a second input channel beam having the second optical characteristic; and multiple apertures including a first aperture through which the first output channel beam and the second input channel beam pass and a second aperture through which the second output channel beam and the first input channel beam pass.
