METHOD OF SCANNING THE SURROUNDING SPACE FOR A MOBILE OPTICAL COMMUNICATION LINE AND A DEVICE FOR ITS IMPLEMENTATION Russian patent published in 2021 - IPC G02B26/10 H04B10/11 

FIELD: optical-mechanical instrumentation.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to optical-mechanical instrumentation, in particular to devices for moving a laser beam in space, devices for optical scanning and tracking. The present device for scanning the surrounding space for a mobile optical communication line consists of a housing on which the optical communication transceiver, the first stepping motor and the first bearing are fixed. The first stepping motor can rotate the hollow shaft of the first bearing, on which the first flat mirror is located at an angle of 45° to the shaft axis. On the hollow shaft of the first bearing, the second stepping motor and the second bearing are additionally installed, located coaxially to the optical axis reflected from the first flat mirror, while the second stepping motor can rotate the hollow shaft of the second bearing, on which the second flat mirror is installed at an angle of 45° to the shaft axis. The first stepping motor is installed in such a way so that the output aperture of the optical communication transceiver is between the first mirror and the first stepping motor, and the second stepping motor is installed in such a way so that the axis of rotation of the hollow shaft of the first bearing is between the second stepping motor and the second bearing.

EFFECT: creation of an optical scanning system of full coverage for mobile optical communication lines, in which the scanning angles in the azimuth and elevation angles vary from 0 to 360°, while there is no vignetting of optical beams and changes in the bends of wires and cables suitable for the transceiver.
