1. INTRODUCTION In the last few years G&H have supplied optical components and subsystems into a range of spaced-based technology demonstrators, pathfinder missions and pioneering commercial
To discuss different implementations of large area receivers and PSAs for high-sensitivity free-space optical reception, it is first necessary to understand the practical challenges they face.
The Real-Time Optical Receiver is a core piece of NASA''s optical comms puzzle. RTORP''s main focus is to develop and fine-tune the tech needed to catch laser-based transmissions
This includes the development and testing of Ground Laser Receivers (GLRs) and Ground Laser Transmitters (GLTs), optimized for photon-starved links from deep space, and compatible with
Development of deep-space optical communication systems (DOCS) poses a number of technical challenges as compared to conventional radio-frequency
Abstract: Atmospheric turbulence can generate scintillation or beam wandering phenomena that impairs free space optical (FSO) communication. In this paper, we propose and demonstrate a proof-of
We have studied optical and electronic signal processing methods to overcome atmospheric turbulence, in links employing either coherent detection or direct detection.
