A method and an apparatus are for directing an optical receiver toward a light source, using a plurality of light detectors arranged around the receiver's optical axis to check where light (L) hits the light detectors relative to the optical axis. The method includes the steps of: A) arranging the receiver defocused to embrace a largest possible field of view of the area wherein the light source may be located, and refracting the light with largest possible spread angle; B) letting the receiver search for the light source until the light (L) hits at least one of the light detectors; C) calculating where the light hits relative to the optical axis, and adjusting the receiver, directing the light toward the optical axis; D) reducing the field of view embraced by the receiver; and E) repeating the steps C and D until the light is concentrated in a smallest possible area. |
