Abstract

A light tracking system includes at least one emitter and at least one receiver array. The receiver array receives a light signal from a source by at least one receiver module of the array. The difference between the intensity of the light signal arriving at receivers of the receiver array is used to determine the approximate angular deviation from the direction of the light source. The position of the receiver array is adjusted so as to reduce the difference between the intensity of light arriving at receiver modules of the receiver array. Signal encoding is used to synchronize the receiver array to the emitter so as to allow for the transmission of binary commands from the emitter to the receiver array by way of the light signal produced by the emitter.
