Le Nguyen Binh: Space Photonic Communications, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

This book explores the extension of fiber optic communications technology to space optical communications. It presents the specific demands for space communications and examines propagation in a vacuum and also over the turbulence of airfree space.

Space Photonic Communicationsbegins with historical aspects of optical communications in both terrestrial and intersatellite constellations. It presents the advances in optical communications and integrated photonics that have enabled the technological developments for space photonic communications, especially coherent optical communications to transport Tbps information. The author discusses how the transmission of massive amounts of data over very long distances requires Teräbps communications in real time for both military and civil applications. The author also explores laser communications with the physics of laser propagation over ulträlong distances without optical amplifications at intermediate locations. He also examines modulation and receiving techniques for space photonic communications.

Intended for communications engineers and professionals, especially those in laser communication technologies, this book could also be used in courses on advanced optical communications, photonic communications, and communication techniques and technologies.
