TWO-WAY OPTICAL COMMUNICATION DEVICE

FIELD: electrical communications; two-way optical communication systems. ^ SUBSTANCE: proposed device has two transceiving centers, each incorporating optical transceiving system that has receiving floor which is circular in perimeter and its center is aligned with central axis of optical transceiving system. Installed on one end of receiving floor are converging lenses uniformly disposed over perimeter of receiving floor; arranged in tandem on optical axis are laser with power supply and collimating optics. Disposed in tandem on other end of receiving floor are optical reflecting-surface component, focusing lens, and photodetector. Mounted on optical axis of each converging lens is turning mirror optically coupled with converging lens and with optical-component reflecting surface, the latter being optically coupled with focusing lens; newly introduced in device are position sensing photodetector and beam splitter. ^ EFFECT: enlarged functional capabilities of device. ^ 2 cl, 4 dwg
