In this paper, an optical adaptive antenna array system for multi-user optical mobile communication is studied. A coherent signal source is embedded in a spherical optical phased cell array with an external spherical lens system. The system can predict the signal power of the receiving end according to the channel transfer matrix and perform power compensation when transmitting the signal. Correspondingly, a pure phase lossless desired light field recovery algorithm is proposed and used for space division multiple access and free power allocation of antenna array systems. A small-scale optical adaptive antenna array experimental system is built and tested with good performance and consistent with the expected results.
