Abstract
Examples include a network node for a non-detectable laser communication system, a bi-directional laser communication system comprising such a network node, a method for a non-detectable laser communication, and in particular to an optronic system for non-detectable, compact bi-directional laser communication, which is particularly suitable for communication with a drone or other unmanned vehicle (UXV).
Claims12
A bi-directional laser communication system comprising:
- a network node;
- and
- a basic node;
- wherein the network node comprises:
- a reflector device, configured to generate, by a reflection of a laser beam, a reflected laser beam;
- and
- a modulator device, configured to provide a modulation of the reflected laser beam;
- wherein the reflector devices comprises an orientable reflector and is configured to orient the reflector based on the laser beam;
- wherein the basic node comprises:
- a laser device configured to generate a laser beam and to send the laser beam to the network node, and
- a device configured to determine, based on an intensity of the reflected laser beam, data for achieving a better orientation of the reflector, and to convey the data to the network node using the laser beam.

A method for non-detectable laser communication, comprising:
- generating a laser beam;
- generating, from the laser beam, a modulated reflected laser beam using an orientable reflector;
- determining, based on an intensity of the reflected laser beam data for achieving a better orientation of the reflector;
- conveying the data back by means of the laser beam;
- and
- orienting the reflector based on the conveyed data.
