The free space optical communication technology has many potential advantages, such as high security, strong anti-interference capability, high bandwidth, high spectrum utilization rate, etc., and has been widely applied to information transmission systems between mobile devices and base stations (airplanes, satellites, ground platforms, etc.). However, the conventional high-precision active free-space optical system generally has the disadvantages of large volume, heavy weight, complex device, high power consumption, and the like, and is a great challenge for terminal devices with strict load requirements and energy consumption limitations. The retro-modulation reflection module is used as a competitive terminal device, combines an optical retro-reflector and a modulator, directly reflects a modulated optical signal to a signal transmitting end, transfers most weight and power consumption to a base station of a free space optical communication system, and can effectively solve application limitation of free space optical communication, so that the realization of the free space optical communication by the retro-modulation reflection module and the reduction of the volume and the technical complexity of the terminal device become an important trend.
The existing inverse modulation schemes comprise a frustrated total internal reflector, a liquid crystal modulator, a multi-quantum well device, a reflective semiconductor optical amplifier and the like, and the modulation rate of the schemes is relatively low, only reaches 1.25 gigabits/second at most, and still does not meet the requirement of high rate (dozens or even hundreds of gigabits/second) of modern optical communication.
