To address the issues of high construction costs and low measurement accuracy in lidar systems, a lidar communication and ranging integrated solution based on differential pulse position modulation (DPPM) is proposed. This scheme uses different pulse slot positions in DPPM to represent communication and ranging frame information. The receiver can demodulate the communication signals based on the pulse slot positions and achieve ranging using a time-of-flight ranging module. Additionally, to address the issue of low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in echo signals, a pulse accumulation algorithm is used to frame the echo signals and improve their SNR. Finally, the integrated communication and ranging system is built by field programmable gate array (FPGA) and tested. The experimental results show that the system can not only achieve a range of 300 cm with an average ranging error of ±2.04 cm, but also achieve a communication rate of 5 Mb/s.
In response to the lack of methods for calculating the aperture averaging function of optical receivers with arbitrary shapes in existing research, a novel two-dimensional mapping method is proposed. Firstly, the mathematical shape of the receiver is mapped into a two-dimensional matrix, and based on this matrix, a reference aperture and a displacement aperture are constructed, and the displacement range is determined. Then, a series of variable displacement matrices are obtained by gradually moving the displacement aperture. Subsequently, by calculating the same elements between the displacement matrix and the reference matrix, the aperture overlap area under different centroid spacing vectors is obtained, thereby accurately calculating the aperture averaging function of the receiver. Finally, taking the calculation of the aperture averaging function of a Cassegrain telescope as an example, it is mapped into a 300×300 matrix and compared with the theoretical calculation results. The comparison results show that the method has extremely small errors in calculating the aperture averaging function, verifying the accuracy and reliability of the proposed method.
Aiming at the issues that monochromatic optical communication is not suitable for lighting and the frequency spectrum utilization of ordinary white light communication is low, a visible light color division multiplexing communication system is de vised. The system not only maintains the normal lighting function of the light emitting diode (LED), but also possesses the function of information transmission. At the transmitting end, three types of LEDs with fixed wavelengths are utilized for modulation. At the receiving end, narrow-band filters matching the wavelength of the transmitting end are employed to separate the optical signals of each channel. The separated optical signals are converted by a monolithic photodiode into electrical signals, which are then compared with a preset threshold and received and decoded by the microcontroller. The test results indicate that the narrow-band filter at the receiving end can effectively distinguish the broadcast signals from the three specific wavelengths of the LED. When the transmission rate is lower than 50 kHz, the eye image effect is favorable and stable communication can be achieved. However, when the transmission rate is increased to more than 50 kHz, images will present wrong color blocks and offset distortion.

In order to analyze the impact of the absorption and turbulence characteristics of seawater on the transmission performance of vortex beams, an analytical expression for the detection probability of the orbital angular momentum (OAM) mode of anomalous vortex beams is derived, taking into account both the absorption and turbulence effects of seawater. The influence of absorbing turbulent seawater on the spiral phase spectrum, detection probability, and crosstalk probability of anomalous vortex beams is discussed in detail. The simulation results indicate that the absorption effect of seawater cannot be ignored, as it can lead to a decrease in detection probability. Absorbing ocean turbulence can lead to the expansion of the spiral phase spectrum, and as the number of OAM modes increases, the degree of expansion of the spiral phase spectrum becomes greater. As the temperature variance dissipation rate, temperature salinity contribution ratio, and turbulence energy dissipation rate of ocean turbulence decrease, the detection probability of OAM mode increases and the crosstalk probability decreases.
