Abstract:
Embodiments disclosed herein address these and other issues by providing a retro-modulating optical “tag” with a wide FOV that enables high-speed communication in a compact design. Embodiments enable retro-modulation via a lens assembly that directs light to a reflective surface, through a Quantum Well Modulator (QWM) that modulates the light. A wide field of view can be achievable, for example, using a lens with a high index of refraction, which may be optically contacted with the QWM.

Claim (Index 1):
An optical retro-modulator comprising:\n a lens assembly comprising at least one lens configured to direct incoming light toward a focal point; a substantially flat optically reflective element disposed at the focal point of the lens assembly and configured to reflect the incoming light from the lens assembly back toward the lens assembly; and a Quantum Well Modulator (QWM) disposed between the lens assembly and the optically reflective element and configured to modulate the incoming light, the reflected light, or both, traveling between the lens assembly and the optically reflective element.
