Abstract:
Through-the-Air Link Optical Component is a low Size, Weight, and Power optical communications device that 1) acquires and maintains a broad band communications link between two platforms in line of sight with one another, 2) measures azimuth and elevation angle relative to each platform reference from one TALOC to the communicating TALOC and vice-versa, 3) measures distance between communicating TALOC units, and 4) sees through atmospheric disturbances such as clouds and fog. These remarkable functions open the door to several important derivative capabilities, such as determining absolute positions of all platforms in a community and formation of platform community into a phase array antenna

Claim (Index 18):
An optical communication device comprising:\n a processor configured to provide at least a tracking mode and a communications mode; an input/output interface coupled to the processor; an electro-optic controller coupled to the input/output interface; an acquisition/tracking portion coupled to the electro-optic controller and comprising\n a tracking laser array coupled to the electro-optic controller via a tracking laser driver; and \n a tracking detector array coupled to the electro-optic controller via a tracking detector signal processor; and \n a communication portion coupled to the electro-optic controller and comprising\n a communications laser coupled to the electro-optic controller via a communications laser driver; and \n a communications detector coupled to the electro-optic controller via a communications detector signal processor, \n wherein said acquisition/tracking portion operates using a first wavelength and said communications portion operates using a second wavelength different from said first wavelength.
