Unlocking the Potential of Laser Communications Through the Atmosphere

Laser communications have proven advantageous in satellite communication, offering high data rates, low probability of interception/detection, and license-free communication. While already in use for inter-satellite links, extending laser communications to satellite-to-earth links faces a challenge due to atmospheric turbulence.

In this webinar hosted by the Optical Communications Technical Group, Pu Jian will provide an overview of the current state of satellite-to-earth links, emphasizing atmospheric challenges and the need for innovative solutions. The webinar will also cover various turbulence mitigation techniques, from adaptive optics to diversity schemes. A special focus will be put on how Multi-Plane Light Conversion, a beam shaping technology derived from quantum optics and fiber telecommunications, can be leveraged for robust laser communications overcoming atmospheric obstacles.
