NewsWinner of the SAOT Innovation Award 2026
With their work about “Integrated Sensing and Communication for Satellite FSO: Beacon-Aided Turbulence Profiling and Phase Pre-Compensation“, Andreas Rittler and Esther Renner won the SAOT Innovation Award 2026. Optical free-space communication using laser radiation between ground stations and satellites offers high potential for data transmission with very high bandwidths. However, atmospheric turbulence remains a limiting […]With their work about “Integrated Sensing and Communication for Satellite FSO: Beacon-Aided Turbulence Profiling and Phase Pre-Compensation“, Andreas Rittler and Esther Renner won the SAOT Innovation Award 2026.
