Reihe: JPL Deep-Space Communications and Navigation Series

A quarter century of research into deep space and near Earthoptical communications
This book captures a quarter century of research and development indeep space optical communications from the Jet PropulsionLaboratory (JPL). Additionally, it presents findings from otheroptical communications research groups from around the world for afull perspective. Readers are brought up to date with the latestdevelopments in optical communications technology, as well as thestate of the art in component and subsystem technologies,fundamental limitations, and approaches to develop and fullyexploit new technologies.
The book explores the unique requirements and technologies for deepspace optical communications, including:
* Technology overview; link and system design drivers
* Atmospheric transmission, propagation, and reception issues
* Flight and ground terminal architecture and subsystems
* Future prospects and applications, including navigationaltracking and light science
This is the first book to specifically address deep space opticalcommunications. With an increasing demand for data from planetaryspacecraft and other sources, it is essential reading for alloptical communications, telecommunications, and system engineers,as well as technical managers in the aerospace industry. It is alsorecommended for graduate students interested in deep spacecommunications.
