Experimental Investigation into Spatial Quantum Optical Properties for Satellite Targeting through the Turbulent Atmosphere
(University of Waterloo, 2013-09-04)A major field of research at the current time is that of implementing Quantum Key Distribution over large distances using satellites. If this protocol works with this technology, it will have huge implications on future ... -
Relay-Assisted Free-Space Optical Communications
(University of Waterloo, 2011-01-21)The atmospheric lightwave propagation is considerably influenced by the random variations in the refractive index of air pockets due to turbulence. This undesired effect significantly degrades the performance of free-space ...
