OPTICAL COMMUNICATION DEVICE AND OPTICAL COMMUNICATION METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18039425 titled 'OPTICAL COMMUNICATION DEVICE AND OPTICAL COMMUNICATION METHOD

Simplified Explanation

Abstract

An optical transmitter tracks and irradiates a moving body with a laser beam. An optical receiver is mounted on the moving body, receives the laser beam, and performs optical space communication with the optical transmitter. The optical transmitter extends the irradiation range of the laser beam into an elliptical shape.

Patent/Innovation Explanation

  • An optical transmitter is used to track and irradiate a moving body with a laser beam.
  • An optical receiver is mounted on the moving body to receive the laser beam and perform optical space communication with the optical transmitter.
  • The optical transmitter extends the range of the laser beam's irradiation into an elliptical shape.

Potential Applications

  • Tracking and communication with moving objects in space.
  • Remote sensing and monitoring of moving targets.
  • Laser-based communication systems for mobile platforms.

Problems Solved

  • Enables accurate tracking and communication with moving bodies.
  • Provides an extended range of laser beam irradiation.
  • Improves the efficiency and reliability of optical space communication.

Benefits

  • Enhanced precision in tracking and communication with moving objects.
  • Increased coverage area with the elliptical shape of the laser beam.
  • Improved performance and reliability of optical space communication systems.
