Optischer Empfänger für ein Freiraumübertragungssystem

摘要

A receiver for an optical transmission system in air is described. The receiver includes at least one receiving lens for focusing a beam received from a remote transmitter and a detector. The receiver is characterised in that it includes a portion or section of tapered optical fibre inserted basically into the focal plane of the at least one receiving lens. A method for increasing the gathering area in a receiver for an optical transmission system in air is also described.
