Abstract

A system, device and method for wirelessly providing power and data to a remote device having a source apparatus generating a modulated collimated beam and a steerable optical element. A remote device with a receiver to convert the modulated collimated beam into an electrical signal which provides a power component for powering the device and a signal component. An uplink channel relays feedback data to position the collimated beam onto the receiver.
