description This paper is an experimental characterization of a light-receiving module containing a fly-eye lens system with high tolerance to beam irradiation conditions. The fly-eye lens system, which is tolerant to fluctuations in beam shape, beam size, number of beams, beam incident position, and beam incident direction, was proposed, a light receiver module with a fly-eye lens system was constructed, and its characteristics were evaluated. The effect of the beam size on the fly-eye lens system was evaluated and the tolerance to misalignment of beam incident position was measured. When a GaAs solar cell was irradiated with a laser beam of 450 nm wavelength and 6 W light output through a 90 cm long water tank with tap water, a maximum output of 0.755 W was obtained as underwater OWPT. In addition, a fly-eye lens system with mirrors applied to four surfaces was proposed and fabricated as a light-receiving side module that can receive high incident angles from any direction of up, down, left, and right and its effectiveness was clarified through experiments.
