Abstract: A high data rate free space communication link operating at millimeter wave frequency ranges. Links include two transceivers, the first transceiver transmitting at a first frequency range and receiving at a second frequency range and a second transceiver transmitting at the second frequency range and receiving at the first frequency range. Each of the two transceivers has a primary tunable oscillator providing a basic frequency signal that is precisely the same for both transceivers. Preferably the primary tunable oscillator in one of the transceivers, the slave oscillator, is slaved to the primary tunable oscillator, the master oscillator, in the other transceiver and the two transceivers are locked in frequency and phase. Also preferably the master oscillator is frequency controlled to maintain a constant number of wavelengths in the millimeter wave radio beams between the two transceivers, at least for periods of time permitting substantial data transmission without change in the number of wavelengths. In both transceivers a center frequency is generated by frequency multiplication and mixing of harmonics of the basic frequency signal generated by the transceiver's primary tunable oscillator. Preferred embodiments are designed to operate at frequencies above 60 GHz. In a particular preferred embodiment the center frequency for the first transceiver is about 73.5 GHz and the center frequency for the second transceiver is about 83.3 GHz. Embodiments of the present invention include automatic transmit power control, (preferably about 20 db of it, permitting operation at about 1 percent to 100 percent of maximum transmit power) for assuring adequate signal transmission in a wide variety of atmospheric conditions but not excessive power that might interfere with other links at the same frequencies. The narrow beam widths of these transceivers at about 0.5 degrees using a two-foot diameter antenna and the above transmit power control permit a large number of these transceivers to operate in the same region using the same frequencies.

Abstract: A system for aligning a laser beam with the end of an optical fiber includes optics for focusing the laser beam toward the end of the optical fiber. A plurality of light receptors are positioned around the end of the optical fiber and, as intended for the present invention, each light receptor generates a light signal which is indicative of the light intensity from the laser beam that is incident on it. Connected with this plurality of light sensors is a comparator which creates an error signal that is proportional to a difference between selected light signals from the light receptors. The laser beam can then be moved relative to the end of the optical fiber in response to the error signal to align the laser beam with the end of the optical fiber. When alignment is achieved, the light signals will be substantially equal to each other and the error signal will be a null.

Abstract: A large communication network suitable for nationwide or worldwide utilization. The present invention overthrows the conventional packet switching technologies with an all-optical network. The invention uses tunable laser sources to generate large number of highly stable narrow-band optical signals, each serving as a communication channel. With packet processing replaced by all-optical channels, the network become highly secure and scalable while harnessing the virtually unlimited capacity of fiber-optic. A large number of nodes (called area code nodes) are connected with all-fiber-optic links with all-optical switches. A routing algorithm provides one or more communication links from each area code node to every other area code node so that information never has to change carrier wavelength as it travels the network. Each area code node contains circuits that are provided to connect individual users to the network.

Abstract: A method and system for creating and co-aligning a first array of optical beams with a second array of optical beams. In a preferred application the invention is used in a cross connect optical switch. A first set of alignment beams are created and added to and aligned co-axially with each of the first set of parallel collimated cross-connect communication beams. A second set of alignment beams are created and added to and aligned co-axially with each of the second set of parallel collimated cross-connect communication beams. A preferred embodiment includes an injection unit with a “point” infrared light source such as a vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) operating in the near infrared at 850 nm and having a divergence of about 30 degrees. The beam from this source is collimated with collimator optics to produce a collimated beam with a cross sectional dimension of about 16 millimeter×16 millimeters. This collimated beam is separated into 128 separate beams with a mask having 128 0.6 mm diameter apertures that are positioned to align the 128 separate parallel beams with the communication beams from a fiber bundle.

Abstract: A point-to-point, wireless, millimeter wave communications link between two stations at least one of which is a mobile station. A millimeter wave transmitter system operating at frequencies higher than 57 GHz with a tracking antenna producing a beam having a half-power beam width of about 2 degrees or less and a millimeter wave receiver also with a tracking antenna having a half-power beam width of about 2 degrees or less. In preferred embodiments each mobile station has a global position system (GPS) and a radio transmitter and both tracking antennas are pointed utilizing GPS information from the mobile station or stations. The GPS information preferably is transmitted via a low frequency, low data rate radio. Each millimeter wave unit is capable of transmitting and/or receiving, through the atmosphere, digital information to/from the other station at rates in excess of 155 million bits per second during normal weather conditions. In preferred embodiments actually built and tested by Applicants digital information has been transmitted at rates of 1.25 gigabits per second. Preferred communication links described here are millimeter wave links operating at frequencies of 71-73 GHz and 74-76 GHz mounted on simple two-axis gimbals. Pointing information of the required accuracy is provided by GPS receivers and standard radio links which send the GPS calculated positions to the millimeter wave systems at the opposite end of the link. In these embodiments there is no need for any complicated closed loop pointing information derived from received signal intensity or phase. On moving platforms locally generated inertial attitude information is combined with the GPS positions to control pointing of the gimbaled transceivers.
