The wireless optical communication technology does not need radio frequency use permission, has small equipment volume, low power consumption, light weight, strong confidentiality, strong electromagnetic interference resistance and the like, has unique characteristics, leads the wireless optical communication technology to occupy a place for 6G future communication, has wide application prospect along with the development of the communication technology to a large capacity and a long distance direction, and is a research hotspot of the current optical communication technology.
Free space optical communication is a line-of-sight technique that transmits data between base stations in stationary or moving conditions by modulating light. With the technical application of 5G internet of things and the progress of internet digitization, networking and intellectualization, human-network-physical interconnection and system fusion of various areas of each industry, the information transmission amount is exponentially increased and limited by the bandwidth of a wireless spectrum network, and in the field of wireless communication, the traditional microwave communication means is increasingly difficult to meet the requirements of modern communication. As a complement to wireless spectrum communication, free space optical communication technology has attracted considerable attention, and in particular, in some special occasions, free space optical communication exhibits unique advantages, such as high-speed trains, unmanned aerial vehicles, inter-building, satellites, indoor and outdoor local area networks and wide area networks, and deep space communication, such as quantum satellite communication, china numbers, and temporary optical communication, underwater wireless optical communication, etc., which are inconvenient for stringing in deep mountains. Free space optical communication is a technology which can be used as an independent communication system, can also be used in combination with a radio frequency system, and has the advantages of high bandwidth, license-free band use, wide operation range, space overlapping, safety, electromagnetic interference resistance and the like. However, since transmission medium laser is a narrow beam, the beam directivity is strong, and diffraction is impossible, and extremely accurate alignment and tracking are required, mobile optical communication has been a challenge of free space optical communication.
Free space optical communication technology must establish a set of aiming, capturing and tracking system (ATP), which is the key of free space mobile optical communication technology and is necessary for effectively performing mobile optical communication. At present, the overall workflow of photoelectric tracking is mainly divided into five stages of guiding pointing, capturing alignment, coarse tracking, fine tracking and communication. External guidance generally uses GPS/INS, ephemeris, etc. to make both communication parties enter a small uncertain area, then emits coarse beacon light and scans, and when the beacon light enters the capture field of view of the other party, capture is completed. The rough tracking is large visual field and low precision, a two-dimensional dynamic turntable is generally used to enable a light beam to be turned and received, a CCD (charge coupled device) and other large visual field detectors determine feedback, the precision is insufficient, and the dynamic communication requirements cannot be met, so that aiming and precise tracking must be carried out, rough and precise decoupling must be carried out firstly, then more precise piezoelectric ceramic or micro-electromechanical reflectors are used for stepping or rotating, and PSD (position sensitive detector) position feedback sensors and other precise adjustment are utilized.
A common mobile optical communication system is integrated with a transceiver, a satellite state information GPS or an ephemeris is used for guiding and pointing, attitude information or positioning information is rough, a large direction reference can be provided for an initial scanning area, and further scanning is needed for capturing; the coarse tracking adopts two single-dimensional rotary tables to be matched for use to achieve two-dimensional steering control, the device is large and heavy, the steering positioning precision is low, and the change speed is slow. Meanwhile, the precise tracking device is matched with piezoelectric ceramics or micro electro mechanical systems, and error calculation and acquisition tracking circulation control are needed. Meanwhile, beacon light, namely a whole set of light emitting, steering, receiving, feedback and other devices are used for tracking, and the device is matched with a whole set of signal light device, coaxial control is needed for assembly, filtering, isolation and the like are needed, the whole device is very complex, the design, assembly and verification are very difficult, the cost is high, the size is large, the assembly difficulty and the debugging difficulty are high, and the application is very limited.

Detailed Description
In order to make those skilled in the art better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the technical solution in the embodiment of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiment of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiment is only a part of the embodiment of the present invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be obtained by a person skilled in the art without making any creative effort based on the embodiments in the present invention, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a mobile optical communication receiving system according to an embodiment, as shown in the figure, the mobile optical communication receiving system includes a deflecting element 101, a focusing element array 102, a light guiding unit array 104, a light gating device 106 and a communication device 107, where the deflecting element 101 is configured to obtain light from the outside and reflect the obtained light to the focusing element array 102, and the deflecting element 101 is rotatable so that the light obtained by the deflecting element 101 can be reflected to the focusing element array 102;
the light guide units 105 of the light guide unit array 104 correspond to the focusing elements 103 of the focusing element array 102 one to one, any focusing element 103 of the focusing element array 102 is configured to converge light entering the focusing element 103 and then enter the corresponding light guide unit 105 of the light guide unit array 104, any light guide unit 105 is configured to transmit the light entering the light guide unit 105 to the optical gating device 106, the optical gating device 106 is configured to gate an output light beam of any light guide unit 105, so that the gated light beam enters the communication device 107, and the communication device 107 is configured to transmit the received light beam.
The deflecting element 101 receives light from the outside and reflects the light. The deflecting element 101 is rotatable, and the rotation of the deflecting element 101 enables the reflection direction of the light incident to the deflecting element 101 to be changed. By rotating the deflecting element 101, light received by the deflecting element 101 can be reflected by the deflecting element 101 and then can be incident on the focusing element array 102.
Any focusing element 103 of the focusing element array 102 converges light incident on the focusing element 103 and enters a corresponding light guiding unit 105 of the light guiding unit array 104, and any light guiding unit 105 transmits the light incident on the light guiding unit 105 to the light gating device 106.
The mobile optical communication receiving system of the embodiment can enable light rays which are obtained by the deflection element and come from the outside to be reflected by the deflection element and then enter the focusing element by rotating the deflection element, and enables the gated light beams to enter the communication device by gating the output light beams of the corresponding light guide units through the optical gating device, so that the capturing, aiming and tracking of the light beams are realized.
In this embodiment, the structure of the deflecting element 101 is not limited as long as it can receive light from the outside, reflect the light, and rotate to change the light reflection direction. The deflection element 101 may be, but is not limited to, a controllable deflection mirror, which may be an electrostatically driven deflection mirror, a piezo ceramic closed loop deflection mirror, or a two dimensional voice coil motor controlled deflection mirror.
Preferably, in some embodiments, the optical center of each focusing element 103 of the focusing element array 102 is located on a first predetermined surface, the first predetermined surface is a curved surface, and the position and the shape of the first predetermined surface are such that after the light obtained by the deflecting element 101 is reflected by the deflecting element 101, the reflected light can be vertically incident on the corresponding focusing element 103. The optical centers of the focusing elements 103 of the focusing element array 102 are all arranged on the same curved surface, and after the light rays obtained by the deflecting element 101 are reflected by the deflecting element 101, the reflected light rays of each part can vertically enter the corresponding focusing element 103, so that the system can effectively receive the light, the capturing efficiency of the system to the light beams is improved, and the aiming accuracy is improved.
The first predetermined surface may in particular be a concave surface with respect to the deflecting element 101. In particular, it may be that the optical center of the deflecting element 101 coincides with the center of curvature of said first predetermined surface, i.e. the first predetermined surface is a concave surface with respect to the deflecting element 101, on which the optical center of each focusing element 103 of the array of focusing elements 102 is located. Referring to fig. 2 for example, fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a mobile optical communication receiving system according to another embodiment, and as shown in the figure, each focusing element 103 of the focusing element array 102 may be arranged in a concave surface. An inner arc type focusing element array is formed, so that the direction is adjusted by matching with the deflecting element 101, the vertical incidence of light rays is facilitated, and the incidence angle of the light rays on the deflecting element 101 can be adjusted within the field angle range. If the individual focusing elements 103 of the focusing element array 102 are arranged convex with respect to the deflecting element 101, i.e. the focusing element array 102 is an outer arc array, the outer arc array is passive receiving and cannot be adjusted with respect to the incident angle. The focusing elements 103 may be microlenses, and the corresponding focusing element array 102 is an inner arc type microlens array.
Further preferably, the optical center of the light-entering end of each light-guiding unit 105 of the light-guiding unit array 104 is located on a second preset surface, the second preset surface is a curved surface, and the position and the shape of the second preset surface meet the requirement that the light converged by the focusing element 103 is vertically incident to the light-entering end of the corresponding light-guiding unit 105. The optical centers of the light inlet ends of the light guide units 105 of the light guide unit array 104 are all located on the same curved surface, so that the light rays converged and emitted by the focusing element 103 are vertically incident to the light inlet ends of the corresponding light guide units 105, the system effectively receives the light, and the capturing efficiency of the system to the light beams and the aiming accuracy are improved. It may be that the radius of curvature of the second predetermined surface is the same as the radius of curvature of the first predetermined surface. Specifically, the second predetermined surface may be a concave surface with respect to the deflecting element 101, and the optical center of each light guiding unit 105 of the light guiding unit array 104 is located on the concave surface. As shown in fig. 2, the light-entering ends of the light guide units 105 of the light guide unit array 104 may be arranged in a concave shape.
In this embodiment, the structure of the light guide unit 105 is not limited as long as the light incident on the light guide unit 105 can be transmitted to the light gating device 106. In some embodiments, the light guiding unit 105 includes a plurality of optical fibers that form an optical fiber array. Preferably, the plurality of optical fibers may include a central optical fiber and an optical fiber surrounding the central optical fiber. Referring to fig. 3 by way of example, fig. 3 is a perspective view of three sets of optical fiber arrays of the light guiding unit array in the focusing element array according to an embodiment, as shown in the drawing, the focusing element array 102 includes a plurality of focusing elements 103, one set of optical fiber arrays corresponds to one focusing element 103, and each set of optical fiber arrays is formed by a plurality of optical fibers 112 as one light guiding unit 105. Each group of fiber arrays includes a central fiber and fibers surrounding the central fiber.
Since the optical fiber coupling is sensitive to the angle and the numerical aperture is relatively small, if the light guide unit 105 employs an optical fiber array, the focusing element 103 cannot improve the light coupling efficiency by using the focusing element 103 with a large aperture, the focusing element 103 may employ a micro lens, the effective aperture of the unit lens (i.e., focusing element) of the foregoing curved micro lens array may be designed according to the numerical aperture of the optical fiber, and the number of focusing elements of the focusing element array under a certain receiving aperture may be further calculated.
The design can be made to calculate the effective aperture and focal length of the focusing element 103 from the numerical aperture of the optical fiber 112. In the case where an incident light ray perpendicularly enters the focusing element 103 and an emergent light ray of the focusing element 103 perpendicularly enters the corresponding optical fiber array, the incident light ray can be approximately regarded as a paraxial light ray, and the relationship between the F-number of the focusing element 103 and the numerical aperture NA of the optical fiber 112 can be approximately expressed as:
Figure BDA0003983944850000091
where F denotes the F-number of the focusing element 103, F denotes the focal length of the focusing element 103, D denotes the effective aperture of the focusing element 103, and NA denotes the numerical aperture of the optical fiber 112. For example, using a multimode fiber 50um/125um (id/od), the numerical aperture is about 0.22, and when setting the lens focal length to 5mm, the effective aperture size is about: 2.2mm, and the spacing between closely-spaced optical fibers of the optical fiber array is controlled to be about 150um, so that one lens corresponds to the array of multiple optical fibers, and the approximate distribution can be seen in fig. 3.
For each group of fiber arrays, a group of fiber arrays may include a plurality of fiber light entrance ends in a square array or a circular array, such as a 3 × 3 square array. In order to make the light incident vertically, the light-incoming ends of the respective groups of fiber arrays are arranged in a curved surface, specifically, a concave surface with respect to the deflecting element 101. In practical application, a high-precision optical fiber positioning hole plate can be manufactured to assemble and fix the optical fiber array. Specifically, a high-precision optical fiber positioning hole plate can be manufactured by using a photolithography technique, and one ends of all optical fibers are accurately positioned by the optical fiber positioning hole plate and closely arranged corresponding to a group of optical fibers of the same focusing element 103. The optical fiber may be single mode or multi-mode, for example, the outer diameter of the optical fiber is 125um, the distance between the optical fibers in a group of optical fiber arrays corresponding to the same focusing element 103 is 150um, the outermost layer of the optical fiber may be wrapped with a protective material, and the interface used for connecting the optical fiber may be a standard optical fiber interface such as FC/PC.
Preferably, in some embodiments, the distance between the light-entering end of the light-guiding unit 105 and the corresponding focusing element 103 is smaller than the focal length of the corresponding focusing element 103. In this embodiment, when the incident light is vertically incident on the focusing element 103, the center of the light spot formed at the light entrance end of the optical fiber array coincides with the center of the light entrance end of the optical fiber array, and in this case, the amount of light energy coupled into the light guide unit 105 is the largest, specifically, the energy coupled through the central optical fiber is added to the energy coupled through the edge optical fibers, so that the energy value is the largest. If the incident light is not vertically incident on the focusing element 103, that is, the incident angle of the incident light on the focusing element 103 is greater than 0 degree, which is oblique incidence, the light spot incident on the light entrance end of the optical fiber array does not completely cover the light entrance ends of all the optical fibers of the optical fiber array, and the light energy is collected by the optical fibers covered by the light spot.
Referring to fig. 4-1 and 4-2 for example, fig. 4-1 is a light path diagram of light converging to the light entrance end of the light guide unit through the focusing element in an embodiment, and fig. 4-2 is a schematic diagram of relative positions of a light spot and the light entrance end of the light guide unit when the light is obliquely incident to the focusing element in an embodiment. As shown in fig. 4-1, if the light-incoming end of the light-guiding unit 105 is located on the defocused surface of the focusing element 103, the light spot always remains completely covering the converging diffuse spot of the focusing element 103 when the light is normally incident. With reference to fig. 4-1 and 4-2, if the incident angle of the light is greater than 0 degree, the energy is collected by the optical fiber covered by the light spot, and within the energy detectable threshold, the link is kept clear, and the viewing angle is increased, and the specific maximum half-viewing angle received can be represented as follows:
Figure BDA0003983944850000111
/>
wherein, theta max Representing the maximum half field of view, Δ, of reception x Indicating the distance between the light-in end of the light-guiding unit 105 and the focal plane of the corresponding focusing element 103, i.e. the defocus of the light-in end of the light-guiding unit 105Where f denotes the focal length of the focusing element 103, D denotes the effective aperture of the focusing element 103, and R denotes the spot radius received at the focal plane of the focusing element 103 when a light ray is incident on the focusing element 103. In the design, the effective aperture and the focal length of the focusing element 103 may be determined according to the numerical aperture of the used optical fiber, and further, by setting the distance between the light-entering end of the light guide unit 105 and the focal plane of the corresponding focusing element 103, the mobile optical communication receiving system can reach the required maximum half field angle, so that the field angle of the mobile optical communication receiving system meets the application requirement.
The light guide unit 105 may further include a beam combiner including an optical exit channel formed by merging the optical exit ends of the plurality of parallel optical fibers. The light-emitting ends of the multiple parallel optical fibers of the light guide unit 105 are fused to form a same light-emitting channel, so that the light received by each optical fiber is emitted through the light-emitting channel to form an output light beam of the light guide unit 105. Referring to fig. 2, each light guiding unit 105 includes a beam combiner 108, and each light guiding unit 105 is connected to the light gating device 106 through the corresponding beam combiner 108. Referring to fig. 5 by way of example, fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of a beam combiner of a light guiding unit according to an embodiment, which is manufactured on the basis of a fused-tapered fiber bundle, and the fiber coating layer is removed, and then the fiber coating layer is arranged in a manner that the fiber coating layer is heated and fused at a high temperature, and the fiber bundle is simultaneously stretched in the opposite direction and fused into a fused-tapered fiber bundle.
In this embodiment, the structure of the light gating device 106 is not limited, and the light gating device 106 may be an optical switch, which may include a Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS), a prism, or a 1 × n optical switch of a Micro-nano mechanism. Preferably, the delay is small, the insertion loss is small, and more parallel ports can be obtained by cascading, so that the light beams input from the N ports can be effectively output from the output port.
