Optical wireless power transmission (OWPT) has emerged as a promising technology for remote power applications due to its long-distance transmission, high directionality, and lack of electromagnetic interference. In practical applications, light-emitting diode (LED) based OWPT systems have advantages over Laser Diode in terms of easy commercialization and reduced safety issues. In this research, we propose a deep learning-based approach to optimize the irradiation spot for improving the LED-OWPT transmission distance. A novel configuration consisting of three-layer lenses and a depth camera minimizes the spot size by real-time detecting the transmission distance. The system achieves an auto-focus performance, resulting in an 8-times improvement of the effective surface irradiation at 3m on a 5×5cm2 receiver.
