Abstract:
Adaptive communications focal plane arrays that may be implemented in, e.g., a specially-configured camera that can be utilized to receive and/or process information in the form of optical beams are presented. A specialized focal plane array (FPA) having a plurality of optical detectors is utilized, where one or more optical detectors are suppressed such that data is not allowed to be output from the one or more suppressed optical detectors, and only a significantly smaller number or subset of optical detectors receiving optical beams are allowed to output data. In this way, the rate at which data is to be output by an adaptive communications FPA (ACFPA) can be significantly reduced.

Claim (Index 11):
A user device, comprising:\n a plurality of optical detectors collecting optical flux transmitted by a plurality of light sources; a discrimination circuit receiving output signals from each of the plurality of optical detectors determining whether the collected optical flux is associated with one or more optical beams including an optical data sequence being emitted by an optical transmitter of an optical communications network, the optical transmitter comprising at least one of the plurality of the light sources; a digital signal converter extracting the optical data sequence from output signals of those optical detectors of the plurality of optical detectors that are receiving optical beams from the optical transmitter of the optical communications network upon a determination that the collected optical flux is associated with the one or more optical beams including the optical data sequence being emitted by the optical transmitter of an optical communications networks; and a display presenting information associated with the optical transmitter of the optical communications network embedded in the optical data sequence.
