Abstract
A terrestrial light beam communication system is described for compatible utilization with existing radio transmission systems. The transmitter (FIG. 4) utilizes aiming means (41 and 42) to control the aim of the transmitted light beam. The receiver employs an array of detectors (FIG. 5) from which a circuit (FIG. 6) determines the position of the received light beam. The position of the received light beam is used to control the position of the transmitted light beam from which control signals are developed to maintain the aim of the transmitted light beam to combat the occurrence of ongoing fluctuations in the vertical deflection experienced by the transmitted light beam.
