OPTICAL RECEIVER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18323447 titled 'OPTICAL RECEIVER

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an optical receiver that includes a beam reducer and a light receiving element.

  • The beam reducer consists of an incident lens that condenses incoming collimated light to a focal point.
  • An emitting lens then receives the light from the incident lens and emits collimated light with a smaller diameter.
  • The main body of the receiver is located between the incident lens and the emitting lens, with the focal point inside.
  • The light receiving element includes a light receiving lens that further condenses the emitted collimated light.
  • A light receiving portion within the light receiving element receives the condensed light for further processing.


Original Abstract Submitted

According to one embodiment, there is provided an optical receiver including: a beam reducer including an incident lens condensing first collimated light having a first diameter to a focal point, an emitting lens receiving light emitted from the incident lens and emitting second collimated light having a second diameter smaller than the first diameter, and a main body provided between the incident lens and the emitting lens, the main body having the focal point inside; and a light receiving element including a light receiving lens condensing the second collimated light and a light receiving portion receiving the light condensed by the light receiving lens.
