Abstract
The disclosure provides a method for adjusting an optical link alignment of a first communication device with a remote device. The method includes transmitting or receiving an optical signal; receiving one or more measurements of at least one environmental factor at the first communication device or the remote device; and receiving or detecting an apparent amount of alignment of the optical signal. Then, by one or more processors of the first communication device, determining an estimated error attributable to optical cross coupling and an actual amount of alignment of the optical signal based on the apparent amount of alignment and the estimated error. Next, adjusting the first communication device based on the actual amount of alignment to correct for optical cross coupling.
