This paper analyses the possibility of exploiting a small spacecrafts constellation around Mars to ensure a complete and continuous coverage of the planet, for the purpose of supporting future human and robotic operations and taking... more
Free-space laser communication has been demonstrated with application potential in many areas such as line-of-sight communications, satellite communications and the last mile solution in a fiber optics networking. Both 0.8 and 1.5 micron... more
Laser communications systems offer a significant advantage over traditional radio frequency systems due to the shorter wavelength of laser light. Data can be sent at higher rates for less power with proportionally smaller transmitters and... more
The optical communication arena has perceived a surge in its usage and promising future recently. In this tempest for excellence, getting a versatile and efficient mode of optical transmission is inevitable. Following this, our idea... more
The development of a high data-rate communications electronic subsystem for future application in free-space, direct-detection laser communications is described. The dual channel subsystem uses quaternary pulse position modulation (GPPM)... more
An introductory paper to laser communications technology along with their pros and cons and the challenges they will face while deployed on a ship. Their ground to space and intersatellite usage is also covered. Finally, experimental... more
This paper shows the impact of atmospheric turbulence-induced fading on the symbol decision position in the on-off keying (OOK) and the binary phase shift keying (BPSK) subcarrier intensity modulated (SIM) laser communication link. Weak... more
The advantages of laser communications including high bandwidth, resistance to jamming and secure links have made it a key technology for current and future C4ISR capabilities. Laser Communications between space/air/ground/sea-based... more
Abstract-Mobile free-space Laser communications is the next frontier for net-centric connectivity, as bandwidth, spectrum and security issues drive its adoption as an adjunct to RF communications. However, key technology challenges must... more
Several NASA missions, like LISA, Lator, Maxim, any Grace follow-on mission, and others, utilize laser interferometer to measure changes in distances between the various spacecraft. These laser interferometers are usually interferometers... more
Pulse position modulation (PPM) provides a means of using high peak power lasers for transmitting communications signals from planetary spacecraft to earth-based receiving stations. Large aperture (approximately 10 m diameter) telescopes... more
This paper presents an experimental free space optical (FSO) communication system combined with a redundant radio frequency (RF) communication link that provides high availability and continuous communication even in adverse weather... more
Weyl’s Gauge Principle of 1929 has been used to show that a five-dimensional gauge field wherein the fifth dimension is conserved in the same mathematical sense as the conservation of mass embeds a four-dimensional hyper surface into the... more
We present an overview of an air-to-ground laser communications demonstration performed at MIT Lincoln Laboratory. Error-free communication at 2.5 Gb/s was demonstrated along a 25-km slant path between a 1-in transmit aperture on an... more
Optical communication has become the order of the day due to its very high bandwidth, low noise and reduced number of repeaters. Optical communication systems use an optical fiber to carry the modulated light from one point to other. In... more
