Optical power source modulation system

摘要

A system for delivering optical power over an optical conduit includes at least one optical power source delivering multiple optical power forms, at least one of the optical power forms being a modulated optical power form. The system includes an optical power receiving device that is directly driven by the at least one modulated optical power form.

主权项

1. An optical power system, comprising:
at least one optical power source providing at least a first modulated optical power form and a second optical power form, the first modulated optical power form being different than the second optical power form, the first modulated optical power form including at least one characteristic that is modulated; a device configured to receive at least the first modulated optical power form and to provide output driven by the first modulated optical power form; a first optical conduit coupled to the optical power source and the device and configured to transmit at least the first modulated optical power form and the second optical power form there between; and a second optical conduit coupled to the optical power source and the device and configured to provide real-time feedback to the optical power source including information pertaining to the at least one characteristic of the first modulated optical power form, the optical power source configured to modify the at least one characteristic of the first modulated optical power form to provide a modified optical power form corresponding to an anticipated optical power form desired by the device based on the real-time feedback, wherein the anticipated optical power form is desired by the device at a future time.
