The use of beam direction finders in optical communication lines
Abstract
Ways of increasing the efficiency of an optical communication system under conditions of atmospheric turbulence are examined. An examination of the angular characteristics of anisotropic electrooptical crystals leads to the suggestion that this sort of crystal is suitable for use as the direction-finding sensor of an optical communication system. A self-adaptive electrooptical system (based on anisotropic ADP or LiN6O3 crystals) of beam direction finding is described.
