“…Because the impact of spot quality variations on the receiving end can vary significantly [99][100][101], VBDA technology can be applied to MIMO to adjust the beam divergence angle and optical power of multiple transmitting inputs, achieving a good compromise between link availability and communication rate. For example, the dartboard scheme proposed in reference [102] uses two concentric laser beams with different divergence angles for superposition, significantly improving the average data rate of the link. Simulations showed that, at 10 dBm transmit power, the dartboard scheme provides 53% higher data rate than 4-level pulse-amplitude modulation (4-PAM) and 79% higher than OOK.…”

Free-space optical (FSO) communication is widely used in satellites, ships, aircraft, and ground stations due to its advantages of high speed, large capacity, good confidentiality, and strong anti-interference ability. Variable-beam divergence angle (VBDA) technology makes FSO systems more flexible; this has the benefits of higher acquisition probability, stronger tracking ability, wider communication link range, and lower energy consumption. In other words, the study of VBDA has both theoretical significance and practical relevance. This paper conducts a comprehensive search of relevant scientific databases, journals, conference proceedings, patents, and books to identify publications related to VBDA technology. We analyze these publications, classify and organize various VBDA techniques based on their respective methods. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first review of VBDA technology. In this paper, we first explain the basic principle of changing the beam divergence angle by employing the ABCD matrix, and further furnish a detailed overview of the methods used for VBDA along with their corresponding advantages and disadvantages. In addition, we provide a comprehensive summary of the research conducted using VBDA technology across different link types. Lastly, we identify the challenges and potential future research directions for VBDA technology.
