Receiver for optical communications uses rough reflector instead of diffraction-limited reflector customarily thought necessary for such systems. Rough reflector collects and focuses optical signal. Other receiver components include narrow-passband optical filter to reject out-of-band background radiation, spatial filter to limit receiver field of view, optical-detector array (typically two concentric detectors), and postdetection processor to reconstruct transmitted message.
