Remotely-interrogated high data rate free space laser communications link

Title: Remotely-interrogated high data rate free space laser communications link

Abstract

A system and method of remotely extracting information from a communications station by interrogation with a low power beam. Nonlinear phase conjugation of the low power beam results in a high power encoded return beam that automatically tracks the input beam and is corrected for atmospheric distortion. Intracavity nondegenerate four wave mixing is used in a broad area semiconductor laser in the communications station to produce the return beam.

System and method that suppresses intensity fluctuations for free space high-speed optical communication

Patent Berman, Gennady P [Los Alamos, NM]; Bishop, Alan R [Los Alamos, NM]; Nguyen, Dinh C [Los Alamos, NM]; ...

A high-speed (Gbps), free space optical communication system is based on spectral encoding of radiation from a wide band light source, such as a laser. By using partially coherent laser beams in combination with a relatively slow photosensor, scintillations can be suppressed by orders of magnitude for distances of more than 10 km. To suppress the intensity fluctuations due to atmospheric turbulence, a source with partial transverse coherence in combination with slow response time photodetector is used. Information is encoded in the spectral domain of a wideband optical source by modulation of spectral amplitudes. A non-coherent light source with widemore » « less

Local intelligent electronic device (IED) rendering templates over limited bandwidth communication link to manage remote IED

Patent Bradetich, Ryan; Dearien, Jason A; Grussling, Barry Jakob; ...

The present disclosure provides systems and methods for remote device management. According to various embodiments, a local intelligent electronic device (IED) may be in communication with a remote IED via a limited bandwidth communication link, such as a serial link. The limited bandwidth communication link may not support traditional remote management interfaces. According to one embodiment, a local IED may present an operator with a management interface for a remote IED by rendering locally stored templates. The local IED may render the locally stored templates using sparse data obtained from the remote IED. According to various embodiments, the management interfacemore » « less

Polarization tracking system for free-space optical communication, including quantum communication

Patent Nordholt, Jane Elizabeth; Newell, Raymond Thorson; Peterson, Charles Glen; ...

Quantum communication transmitters include beacon lasers that transmit a beacon optical signal in a predetermined state of polarization such as one of the states of polarization of a quantum communication basis. Changes in the beacon polarization are detected at a receiver, and a retarder is adjusted so that the states of polarization in a received quantum communication optical signal are matched to basis polarizations. The beacon and QC signals can be at different wavelengths so that the beacon does not interfere with detection and decoding of the QC optical signal.
