- the single mode transmission medium 130 guides a plurality of propagation mode lights.
- a single mode fiber (SMF) 230 can be typically used as the single mode transmission medium 130.
- the light receiving means 140 receives a plurality of propagation mode lights via the plurality of single mode transmission media 130, respectively.
- the signal processing unit 250 performs signal processing on the plurality of reception signals s40 output from the plurality of light receiving units 140, and outputs an output signal s50 obtained by combining the plurality of reception signals s40.
- the signal light propagating through the spatial transmission path and receiving the fluctuation of the wavefront is condensed on the end face 220 of the multimode transmission medium 221 by the condensing means 110.
- the collected signal light propagates through the multimode transmission medium 221 and is connected to the mode conversion means 222.
- the signal light is subjected to mode conversion by the mode conversion unit 222 and then separated into a plurality of orthogonal modes by the mode separation unit 223. Each signal light is output to the single mode fiber 230.
- the plurality of single mode lights s30 coupled to the single mode fiber 230 are received by the light receiving means 140, and a reception signal s40 for each mode is generated. All the received signals s40 are subjected to signal processing by the signal processing means 250, and a received signal s50 is output.
- the number m of modes that can be separated into the single mode by the mode separation means 223 is equal to or smaller than the number of modes that the multimode transmission medium 221 can propagate.
- the number of propagation modes of the multimode transmission medium 221 is 100 or more modes.
- the number of modes that can be separated by the mode separation technique used in the optical fiber communication technique is limited to several tens of modes. Therefore, among the propagation modes of the multimode transmission medium 221, a propagation mode incapable of mode separation is mixed as a crosstalk into the separated single mode optical signal to deteriorate the signal quality or become a radiation mode. This leads to signal loss.

That is, the multimode transmission medium 221 is an optical waveguide medium capable of propagating two or more modes. Typically, a multi-mode optical fiber (Multi Mode Fiber: MMF) can be used. A free space may be used as the optical waveguide medium.
- MMF Multi Mode Fiber
- Multimode optical fiber has a larger core diameter and a larger aperture ratio (NA) than single mode fiber (SMF). Therefore, even if the wavefront of the signal light is disturbed by spatial propagation and a speckle pattern is generated on the end face 220 of the multimode transmission medium 221, the probability that the beam spot is off the core is significantly reduced. As a result, degradation of fiber coupling efficiency due to scintillation can be avoided, and highly efficient fiber coupling can be maintained. At this time, the signal light whose wavefront is disturbed due to atmospheric disturbance or the like is coupled to the multimode transmission medium 221 and then propagates in a higher order mode.

- the modes that can be separated by the subsequent mode separation means 223 are five modes from the low-order side.
- the broken line in the figure indicates the minimum light intensity that can be received by the light receiving means 140.
- FIG. 3A shows the light intensity distribution for each propagation mode of the signal light input to the mode conversion means 222.
- the energy of the optical signal is concentrated in the higher-order mode due to the wavefront disturbed by the spatial propagation. Therefore, even if the signal light having such a mode distribution is directly input to the mode separation means 223 and is subjected to mode separation, the single mode signal light that can be coupled to the single mode fiber 230 has sufficient light intensity.

From the figure, it can be seen that the energy of the signal light is converted from the higher order mode to the lower order mode and output. Further, although energy still remains in the higher-order mode signal light, it can be seen that the energy higher than the level that the light receiving means 140 can receive is distributed to the lower-order mode signal light.
- the mode conversion means 222 performs mode conversion so that the mode distribution shown in FIG. 3B becomes the mode distribution shown in FIG. 3A.
- the mode separation means 223 can perform mode separation into modes that can be coupled to the single mode fiber 230.
- the transmission rate can be increased.
- the mode conversion means 222 can be constituted by, for example, a spatial light modulator. Specifically, a spatial light modulator using an acoustooptic effect, a Faraday rotation that is a magnetooptic effect, an electrooptic effect, or the like can be used. Further, a light propagation medium capable of mode coupling such as an optical medium to which stress is applied, such as a coiled fiber, may be applied in combination. By using this coiled fiber, low-order mode light and high-order mode light can be combined, and part of the energy of the high-order mode light can be divided into low-order mode light, so multimode light can be controlled statically.

- the mode separation means 223 can be configured to include a mode filter.
- the number of modes that the multi-mode transmission medium can propagate is generally larger than the number of modes that the mode separation means 223 can separate. Therefore, it is difficult to separate and receive all modes that propagate through the multimode transmission medium.
- the spatial light receiving apparatus 200 is configured to include the mode conversion unit 222 between the multimode transmission medium 221 and the mode separation unit 223. Therefore, even when scintillation occurs, a mode that can be coupled with a single mode fiber can be obtained. Then, by coupling the received signal to the single mode fiber 230 via the mode separation means 223, it becomes possible to use a coherent reception technique using the single mode fiber. As a result, high bit rate and high sensitivity reception can be achieved.

図1は、本発明の第1の実施形態に係る空間光受信装置100の構成を示すブロック図である。空間光受信装置100は、空間伝送路を伝搬したレーザ光101を集光する集光手段110、モード制御手段120、複数の単一モード伝送媒体130、および複数の受光手段140を有する。
次に、本発明の第2の実施形態について説明する。図2は、本発明の第2の実施形態に係る空間光受信装置200の構成を示すブロック図である。
集光手段110は光アンテナを含む光学系からなる。そして、対向する送信装置から送信されて空間伝送路を伝搬したレーザ光101を、マルチモード伝送媒体221の端面220に集光する。なお、集光手段110は、送信装置に対する追尾機能を備えた構成としてもよい。
マルチモード伝送媒体221は、レーザ光101を入力し、マルチモード光を出力する。すなわち、マルチモード伝送媒体221は2個以上の複数モードを伝搬可能な光導波媒体である。典型的には、マルチモード光ファイバ(Multi Mode Fiber:MMF)を用いることができる。光導波媒体として、自由空間を用いることとしてもよい。
モード変換手段222は、入射した信号光の伝搬モードが異なる伝搬モードとなるようにモード変換を行う。具体的には、モード変換手段222は、マルチモード光を制御してマルチモード光に含まれる高次モード光を低次モード光に変換した複数の伝搬モード光を生成する。このときのマルチモード光の制御は、静的または動的に行うことができる。
モード分離手段223は、入射されたマルチモードの信号光から直交する伝搬モードをそれぞれ分離し、各光信号がシングルモードファイバ230に結合が可能となるようにモード変換を行う。モード分離手段223は、モードフィルタを備えた構成とすることができる。
受光手段140は、シングルモードファイバ(SMF)からの入力を受け付ける高ビットレートの光受信手段を備え、受信した信号光を光電変換する。特に、高い伝送レートで高感度な信号受信が可能な、デジタルコヒーレント技術を用いたコヒーレント受信器を用いることとしてもよい。本実施形態では、モード分離手段223によってシングルモードファイバ230と結合したモードの個数をm個とし、これに相当する個数の受光手段140を接続した構成とした。
信号処理手段250は、受光手段140で受信したm個のモード毎の受信信号s40から、空間伝搬した受信信号の合成処理を行う。
次に、本発明の第3の実施形態について説明する。図4は、本実施形態による空間光受信装置300の構成を示すブロック図である。

次に、本発明の第7の実施形態について説明する。図9は、本実施形態による空間光受信装置700の構成を示すブロック図である。
波長分離手段752は、図9に示すようにm本のシングルモードファイバ230に接続され、それぞれの信号光をw個の波長に分離する。そして、波長分離手段752には、それぞれw個の受光手段140が接続される。したがって、受光手段140の全ての個数は、分離されるモードの個数mとの積となり、最大でm×w個となる。なお、シングルモードファイバ(SMF)伝送技術を用いることにより、波長分離手段752の出力側における波長間クロストークは、無視できる程度に小さくすることができる。
信号処理手段250の最大個数は、波長数と同じ個数であるw個となる。このとき、m×w個の受光手段140とw個の信号処理手段250との接続は以下のような構成とすることができる。すなわち、波長分離手段752によって分離された各波長に対応するm個の受光手段140から出力されるm本の受信信号s40を、同一の信号処理手段250に接続する構成とした。この構成においては、出力信号s50はそれぞれ各波長に対応した信号となる。
