Wikipedia, Aprill 22, 2023. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-space_optical_communication Free-space optical communication (FSO) is an optical communication technology that uses light propagating in free space to wirelessly transmit data for telecommunications or computer networking. “Free space” means air, outer space, vacuum, or something similar. This contrasts with using solids such as optical fiber cable. The technology is useful where […]

Lincoln Laboratory’s TeraByte InfraRed Delivery system sent data from a satellite to Earth at 100 Gbps — a rate that will transform future science missions. Ariana Tantillo | MIT Lincoln Laboratory Publication Date: November 30, 2022 In May 2022, the TeraByte InfraRed Delivery (TBIRD) payload onboard a small CubeSat satellite was launched into orbit 300

Merritt Island, Florida, U.S.A, August 23, 2020. X-lumin Corporation This paper describes the propagation of gaussian beams in the absence of turbulence. It is meant as a reference document. Introduction In this appendix, we review the approach of Andrews1 for describing the Gaussian beam propagation using nondimensional parameters. First we introduce the approach for ideal

Proceedings of the Advanced Maui Optical and Space Surveillance Technologies Conference, held in Wailea, Maui, Hawaii, September 1-4, 2009, Ed.: S. Ryan, The Maui Economic Development Board., id.E92. Abstract We describe a non-imaging technique to identify or establish the orientation of an orbiting satellite. This technique involves measuring both the broadening and polarization of pulses
