Optical Links for Fast and Secure Communications on Ground and in Space
@inproceedings{Mottini2016OpticalLF, title={Optical Links for Fast and Secure Communications on Ground and in Space}, author={Sergio Mottini}, year={2016} }
The interest in fast and secure optical communication link has grown in the last years driven by the increasing demand in data throughput for applications spanning from small satellites for global services to large satellites for secure communications, from Earth Observation distributed sensing networks to CubeSat constellations for in-orbit inspections of large satellites; in addition particular interest is also demonstrated by military market. Moreover, besides speed, in modern information…

Aberration corrections for free-space optical communications in atmosphere turbulence using orbital angular momentum states.
- PhysicsOptics express
- 2012
The numerical results show that the phase correction method for OAM states outperforms the Shark-Hartmann wavefront correction method, although both methods improve significantly purity of a single OAM state and the channel capacities of FSO communication link.
Unconditional security of practical quantum key distribution
- Computer Science
