Agenda

In this webinar hosted by the Optical Communications Technical Group, Pu Jian will provide an overview of the current state of satellite-to-earth links, emphasizing atmospheric challenges and the need for innovative solutions. The webinar will also cover various turbulence mitigation techniques, from adaptive optics to diversity schemes. A special focus will be put on how Multi-Plane Light Conversion, a beam shaping technology derived from quantum optics and fiber telecommunications, can be leveraged for robust laser communications overcoming atmospheric obstacles.

The theme for the 75th International Astronautical Congress will be “Responsible Space for Sustainability”. The intention is to highlight the importance of Space as an environment that must be kept secure and open to exploration, peaceful use, and international co-operation by present and future generations in the interests of the planet and all nations, regardless of their level of development and without discrimination of any kind.
