Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of optical communication technology, specifically to a full-duplex laser communication system and method based on dual-wavelength separation. Background Technology
[0002] Free-space laser communication is a key technology for achieving high-speed, secure wireless transmission, and its link efficiency can be greatly improved by realizing full-duplex communication. However, realizing full-duplex laser communication faces a core challenge: how to suppress crosstalk caused by the strong optical signal emitted by the laser itself to the receiving end while sharing the same optical antenna.
[0003] Current mainstream solutions all have significant limitations: spatial separation schemes using independent transmit and receive optical systems are bulky, heavy, and difficult to calibrate; time-division multiplexing schemes using alternating transmit and receive have low effective rates and complex timing; and schemes using orthogonal polarization and co-wavelength isolation have limited isolation and insufficient reliability. Existing technologies struggle to achieve a balance between "system compactness," "high isolation," and "full-duplex continuity." Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new solution that can achieve reliable full-duplex communication while sharing the same optical antenna to address this problem in existing technologies. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a full-duplex laser communication system and method based on dual-wavelength separation, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art by using a single optical antenna for both transmitting and receiving through ingenious optical design, significantly reducing the size, weight and power consumption of the terminal, using different wavelengths for receiving and transmitting to avoid interference, resulting in strong system stability, and reducing production and calibration costs through symmetrical system design. The wavelength separation scheme has a clear principle and a well-defined engineering implementation path. The two terminals adopt the same structural design, which greatly reduces design and production costs.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a full-duplex laser communication system based on dual-wavelength separation, comprising a full-duplex laser communication system body, wherein the full-duplex laser communication system body is provided with a terminal one and a terminal two, wherein the signal sent by the terminal one to the terminal two is modulated on a wavelength of 1310nm, and the signal sent by the terminal one to the terminal two is modulated on a wavelength of 1310nm. The terminal is equipped with a fast reflector A, a dichroic mirror A, a bandpass filter, a beam splitter A, and a high reflector A, all of which are arranged in the same vertical direction. The second terminal is equipped with a fast reflector B, a dichroic mirror B, a filter, a beam splitter B, and a high reflector B, all of which are arranged in the same vertical direction.
[0006] Preferably, the dichroic mirror A is coated with a 1310nm high-reflectivity film and a 1550nm high-transmittance film.
[0007] Preferably, the right side of the high-reflectivity mirror A on the terminal is provided with a 4QPD (four-quadrant photodetector) converging lens group and a 4QPDa; the left side of the beam splitter A is provided with an RX lens group A on the optical fiber B; the left side of the dichroic mirror A is provided with an incoming optical fiber A, and an TX lens group A is provided on the incoming optical fiber A; the right side of the fast-reflectivity mirror A is provided with an optical antenna A in the horizontal direction; and the other connection end of the fast-reflectivity mirror A is provided with a computer A.
[0008] Preferably, the high-reflection mirror B on the second terminal has a high-reflection group B and 4QPDb on its left side, the optical fiber B on the right side of the beam splitter B has an RX mirror group B, the dichroic mirror B has an incoming optical fiber B on its right side, and an TX mirror group B is provided on the incoming optical fiber B, the fast-reflection mirror B has an optical antenna B in the horizontal direction on its left side, and the other connection end of the fast-reflection mirror B has a computer A.
[0009] Preferably, the bandpass filter has a center wavelength of 1550nm.
[0010] Preferably, the dichroic mirror B is coated with a 1550nm high-reflectivity film and a 1310nm high-transmittance film.
[0011] Preferably, the filter is a bandpass filter with a center wavelength of 1310 nm.
[0012] Preferably, a communication method for a full-duplex laser communication system based on dual-wavelength separation includes the following steps: In Terminal 1, the 1310nm signal light is emitted through fiber A. After being parallelized by the TX mirror group A, it is directed to the dichroic mirror A, reflected again by the fast reflector A, and enters the optical antenna A. The 1550nm signal light received by the optical antenna A is reflected by the fast reflector A and the dichroic mirror A, and then passes through the bandpass filter (center wavelength 1550nm) and is directed to the beam splitter A (7:3 = reflection: transmission). 70% of the light is reflected to the RX mirror group A and coupled into fiber B, while 30% of the light is reflected by the high-reflection mirror A and enters the 4QPD (four-quadrant photodetector) converging mirror group. The 4QPD (four-quadrant photodetector) converging mirror group converges the light onto 4QPDa. The 4QPD (four-quadrant photodetector) converging mirror group is used to determine the beam deflection, and computer A controls the fast reflector.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: The full-duplex laser communication system features a sophisticated optical design that uses a single optical antenna for both transmission and reception, significantly reducing terminal size, weight, and power consumption. The system employs different wavelengths for reception and transmission, ensuring no interference and strong system stability. The symmetrical system design also reduces production and calibration costs. The wavelength separation scheme has a clear principle and a well-defined engineering implementation path. The two terminals use the same structural design, which greatly reduces design and production costs. Attached Figure Description
