A quarter century of research into deep space and near Earth
optical communications
This book captures a quarter century of research and development in
deep space optical communications from the Jet Propulsion
Laboratory (JPL). Additionally, it presents findings from other
optical communications research groups from around the world for a
full perspective. Readers are brought up to date with the latest
developments in optical communications technology, as well as the
state of the art in component and subsystem technologies,
fundamental limitations, and approaches to develop and fully
exploit new technologies.
The book explores the unique requirements and technologies for deep
space optical communications, including:
* Technology overview; link and system design drivers
* Atmospheric transmission, propagation, and reception issues
* Flight and ground terminal architecture and subsystems
* Future prospects and applications, including navigational
tracking and light science
This is the first book to specifically address deep space optical
communications. With an increasing demand for data from planetary
spacecraft and other sources, it is essential reading for all
optical communications, telecommunications, and system engineers,
as well as technical managers in the aerospace industry. It is also
recommended for graduate students interested in deep space
communications.
