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 15):
An optical device comprising:\n a lens assembly comprising a corrector lens and an immersion lens, the lens assembly configured to enable incoming light incident on the corrector lens to be directed toward a focal point of the lens assembly telecentrically; an optically reflective element disposed at the focal point of the lens assembly configured to reflect the incoming light from the lens assembly back toward the lens assembly; and a modulating optical element disposed between the lens assembly and the optically reflective element, wherein:\n the modulating optical element is coupled to the immersion lens of the lens assembly via an optical contact bond, and \n the modulating optical element comprises a Quantum Well Modulator (QWM) configured to modulate the incoming light, the reflected light, or both, traveling between the lens assembly and the optically reflective element.
