Abstract

In response to a pressing demand for tagging systems and technologies developing, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes a novel Passive Optoelectronical (POET) Tag system. The POET tag is an omnidirectional (360° in azimuth), with up to 180° field-of-view in elevation, retroreflection optical system with a high frequency multiple quantum well (MQW) light intensity modulator for free space IR optical communication. The POET tag optical scheme is a compact, high quality generalized fish-eye lens with telecentric arrangement in image space. The telecentric arrangement in image space provides perfect omnidirectional retroreflection of a recall beam and an optimum divergent of light at the MQW providing maximum modulation contrast ratios. The important POET tag features are low power consumption, zero probability of jamming and intercepting (high security of communication,) because it operates in a passive retroreflection mode with a highly-directed optical beam.
