Abstract

The present application at least describes a system for detecting loss in free space optical communications (FSOCs). The FSOC may include a sensor located downstream of the power supply unit. The FSOC may also include a signal conditioning unit (SCU) located downstream of the sensor. The FSOC may also include a comparator located downstream of the SCU. The comparator may be configured to receive the first signal from the SCU and determine an indication of signal loss based upon the first signal being below a predetermined threshold. The FSOC may further include a photodiode located downstream of the sensor. The photodiode may be configured to receive power from the power supply, receive an optical signal from a source, and output a second signal based on the optical signal.
