Integrated Laser and Light Detector
Abstract
Proposed infrared optical transmitter tracks distant beacon and automatically point transmitted beam toward beacon. Essential transmitter is integrated gallium arsenide device containing electronically-steerable semiconductor injection laser and position detector that senses direction to beacon. With satisfactory optics and sufficient power, system used for long-distance transmission.
