Key highlights

The Beam Divergence Control (BDC) module is an optical device designed for laser communication terminals. By optimally varying the beam divergence angle through the movement of the built-in lens, it enhances the efficiency of the PAT (Pointing, Acquisition, Tracking) process in free space optical (FSO) communication. This product was developed as a prototype in collaboration with the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT), and our company has successfully achieved miniaturization and space compatibility.

Key features

  1. The beam divergence angle is controlled in real-time to achieve the optimal angle based on the communication distance and error, thereby contributing to the high efficiency of the PAT process.
  2. By utilizing photographic zoom lens technology, we have developed a high-precision lens drive system that operates effectively in a space environment.
  3. Designed for integration into LCT, our system achieves low SWaP (Size, Weight, and Power Consumption).
