Purpose
All-weather optical satellite communications (satellite-to-ground and ground-to-satellite) remain a challenge due to many factors. The Project will develop detectors and receivers suitable for next generation optical satellite communications. During detector development, the size, weight, power, and sensitivity of detectors will be optimized for coherent detection and wavelength division multiplexing (WDM). Examples include multi-channel single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs), multispectral nanowire infrared (IR) detectors, high sensitivity mid-IR detectors, and Kramers-Kronig coherent receivers.
