Patent attributes
The disclosure relates to a setup for receiving an optical data signal having input optics for receiving the signal. An optical receiving fiber with an end facet is provided, which can be injected into the optical receiving fiber by an optical collimation system. A detector for detecting the optical data content is connected to the optical receiving fiber. A receive calibration source is provided, which is connected to the optical receiving fiber by a circulator. An insertable retroreflector is provided in the light path for adjusting the setup into the light path so that light from the receive calibration source is reflected and focused by the optical collimation system onto the end facet of the receiving fiber. The distance in the z-direction between the optical collimation system and the end facet of the receiving fiber is adjusted by the power of the light from the receive calibration source detected.
