Abstract

An optical system (100) and method for processing one or more optical beams. At least one optical coupling surface (10) is configured to receive an incoming optical beam (Lin). A first photonic circuit (30) is configured to receive a first set of optical signals (L1) from the optical coupling surface (10) and interferometrically combine these signals to cause generation of a second set of optical signals (L2) including separate tip and tilt signals (Lx,Ly) indicative of the respective angles (Ax,Ay) and/or positions (DX,DY) of the incoming optical beam (Lin) on the optical coupling surface (10). Simultaneously, one or more optical data reception signals (Lr) may be generated separately from the tip and tilt signals (Lx,Ly). Advantageously, the optical system (100) may be used for improving and/or maintaining alignment in an optical communication device.
