Abstract
A free space optical communication system includes an optical receiver configured to receive a light beam from an optical transmitter wirelessly in free space. The optical receiver includes an array of photodetectors and an electrical circuit. The array of photodetectors is configured to receive the light beam and convert optical signals of the light beam into electrical current. The electrical circuit is electrically coupled to the array of photodetectors and is configured to combine electrical current from the photodetectors and output a voltage or current signal.
