Optical communication is an integral part of the modern economy, having all but replaced
electronic communication systems. Future growth in bandwidth appears to be on the horizon …

In free-space optical communications that use both amplitude and phase data modulation
(for example, in quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM)), the data are typically recovered …

Four-mode multiplexing and manipulation technologies are reviewed in the context of space-
division multiplexing (SDM) optical communication systems. These are multiplane light …

A phase-locking module is firstly validated for coherent beam combining (CBC) systems of
near 400 laser beams in dynamic noise environment. It is based on a 2-dimensional image …

We demonstrated a scheme to spectrally combine two high power, broad-linewidth single
beams using a steep edge filter as the combining element. 10.12 kW combined output …

Should you decide to launch a nano-satellite today in Low-Earth Orbit (LEO), the cost of
renting ground station communication infrastructure is likely to significantly exceed your …

In this Letter, we propose and demonstrate efficient adaptive optics correction of a
distributed 19-element fiber laser array for both receiving and transmission for the first time …

Multi-aperture receiver with optical combining architecture is an effective approach to
overcome the turbulent atmosphere effect on the performance of the free-space optical …

Atmospheric turbulence can generate scintillation or beam wandering phenomena that
impairs free space optical (FSO) communication. In this paper, we propose and demonstrate …

Collecting light using multiple small apertures offers a lot of advantages over doing so using
a single large aperture, including the effective mitigation of scintillation under strong …
