The invention discloses a
wireless optical communication system adopting an amplitude limiting amplification method, which relates to the technical field of
wireless optical communication and comprises a transmitting subsystem and a receiving subsystem. The transmitting subsystem is used for generating a serial
signal,
processing the serial
signal, converting the serial
signal into an optical signal and transmitting the optical signal; and the receiving subsystem is used for receiving and converting the optical signal into a current signal, converting the current signal into a signal in a
voltage form, amplifying the signal, performing
waveform shaping and effective
bandwidth expansion on the amplified signal through the nonlinear amplitude limiting characteristic of a
bandwidth expansion module, and decoding and recovering the signal after
bandwidth expansion. According to the invention, the bandwidth of the
system is directly expanded by using the nonlinear amplitude limiting characteristic of the amplitude
limiting amplifier, so that Gbps-level transmission is realized, and the rate
bottleneck of the traditional LED
system is overcome. Complex transmitting end
equalization is not needed, the design is simplified, the robustness is enhanced, and the stability requirement of a
satellite-borne environment high-speed link is met.
