Free-space optical communication employing subcarrier modulation and spatial diversity in atmospheric turbulence channel [PDF]
An expression for the bit error rate of a multiple subcarrier intensity-modulated atmospheric optical communication system employing spatial diversity is derived. Spatial diversity is used to mitigate scintillation caused by atmospheric turbulence, which

Laser Technology in Photonic Applications for Space
The registered history of laser technologies for space application starts with the first laser echoes reflected off the Moon in 1962. Since then, photonic technologies have become very prominent in most technical development.

Laser ranging and communications for LISA
The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) will use Time Delay Interferometry (TDI) to suppress the otherwise dominant laser frequency noise. The technique uses sub-sample interpolation of the recorded optical phase measurements to form a family of interferometric combinations immune to frequency noise.

Behavior of basalt under laser-induced shock-wave application to the planetary hypervelocity impact effect [PDF]
This paper presents the results of an investigation of the impact of laser-induced shock on basalt samples in a water confinement regime. In order to observe the effect of laser shock-wave propagation, in this material, the rear free surface velocity is ...

Anisoplanatism in airborne laser communication
Airborne laser-communication systems require special considerations in size, complexity, power, and weight. We reduce the variability of the received signal by implementing optimized multiple-transmitter systems to average out the deleterious effects of turbulence.

Analysis and possible estimation of keyhole depths evolution, using laser operating parameters and material properties [PDF]
The authors propose an analysis of the effect of various operating parameters on the keyhole depth during laser welding. The authors have developed a model that uses the analysis of the thermal field obtained in 2D geometry, which is mainly defined by ...
