CA 2357972
A free-space wireless optical communication system is disclosed that utilizes a telescope design having aspherical mirrors, such as a Richey- Chetrien (RC) telescope. RC telescopes are characterized.by a concave primary mirror and a convex secondary mirror each having a hyperbolic shape. The mirror configuration of the present invention allows the primary and secondary mirrors to be positioned closer together than conventional designs, allowing for a very compact system. The disclosed mirrors can be thin and lightweight, allowing for a lightweight telescope unit. The mirror configuration of the present invention provides a larger focal plane, allowing for automatic alignment between a transmitter and receiver with a stationary or fixed mirror design, further contributing to a lower fabrication cost, and can be fabricated with large diameters, allowing the transmission of high beam intensities at eye-safe levels since the energy is spread over a large area. A number of fabrication techniques are disclosed that permit the optical telescopes of the present invention to be fabricated at a reasonable cost that permits such optical telescopes to be deployed in wireless optical communication systems.
