MA, BA & FPMA/FP: Spatially Resolved Rayleigh Backscatter Sensing for TurbulenceCompensation in Optical Free-Space Satellite-to-Ground Links
Optical free-space communication using laser radiation between ground stations and satellites offers high potential for data transmission with very high bandwidths. A limiting factor in this transmission method are atmospheric turbulences. The associated density fluctuations in the air distort the laser’s phase front and destroy its ideal Gaussian profile. As a result, the signal-to-noise ratio […]Optical free-space communication using laser radiation between ground stations and satellites offers high potential for data transmission with very high bandwidths.
