Receiving antenna of optical communication system

Abstract

The invention discloses an optical communication system receiving antenna, which includes a detector. It is characterized in that it also includes a light cone and an immersion lens. The immersion lens is placed at the small end of the light cone, and the detector is placed on the rear surface of the immersion lens. The invention places the large end of the light cone near the focal plane of the optical system, thereby expanding the receiving aperture and increasing the light energy entering the detection system. In addition, the larger receiving aperture makes the detector less sensitive to the focus of the receiving optical system. , thus making the optical path adjustment of the system simple and easy, and the system's ability to resist external interference such as swings and vibrations is enhanced. The immersion lens is used to increase the receiving angle of view of the detector, allowing a smaller detector to receive optical signals within a larger field of view. The smaller the detector size, the higher the signal-to-noise ratio the system can obtain. The immersion lens also shortens the optical path from the receiving optical system to the detector, reducing the length of the FSO system and making the structure more compact.

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

In short, the problems of direct reception with optical signal detectors are: 1. When the receiving area of ​​the detector is smaller than the light spot, a large amount of light energy will be lost, resulting in shorter system transmission distance and lower signal-to-noise ratio, which seriously affects system performance; The faster the speed, the more obvious the impact

2. The coordination and adjustment of the detector and the receiving optical system is extremely difficult. Even after the adjustment and installation are completed, the detector will deviate from the position of the beam waist under the influence of vibration, which will seriously damage the system performance.

3. The influence of the receiving effect at the detector end is far greater than that of the optical antenna at the sending end, the optical system at the receiving end, and the laser. In extreme cases, the efforts of the current FSO manufacturers in the work described below will be in vain.
