Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) in an optical wireless communications system may utilize a curved focal plane of a condenser lens to communicate an optical wireless signal. An optical front-end (OFE) of the UE may include one or more optical communication components located at varying distances from the condenser lens on a curved focal plane of the condenser lens. Additionally or alternatively, the UE may adjust a position of one or more optical communication components on the curved focal plane. Additionally or alternatively, the OFE may include an array of condenser lenses and optical communication components each optically coupled with one or more condenser lenses. The UE may perform equal gain combination and/or equal ratio power splitting to communicate an optical wireless signal using the array of condenser lenses and optical communication components.
