Abstract
Problems encountered in the design of a recently developed data transmission link are discussed. The advantages of the GaAs junction diode as the modulated light source and the advantages of operating the diode in the laser mode are considered. A derivation of the received power as a function of the beam angle and range is given. Considerations in the selection of the photopickup device and its relative merits are presented.
