2. European Data Relay System - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Data_Relay_System

   The programme is similar to the American Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System that was set up to support the Space Shuttle—but EDRS is using a new generation Laser Communication Terminal (LCT) which carries data at a much larger bit rate: the laser terminal transmits 1.8 Gbit/s across 45,000 km (the distance of a LEO-GEO link), [1] while ...

3. Free-space optical communication - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-space_optical...

   On April 28, 2023, NASA and its partners achieved 200 gigabit per second (Gbit/s) throughput on a space-to-ground optical link between a satellite in orbit and Earth. This was achieved by the TeraByte InfraRed Delivery (TBIRD) system, mounted on NASA's Pathfinder Technology Demonstrator 3 (PTD-3) satellite. [33]

   WASHINGTON (Reuters) -SpaceX has started selling satellite lasers, which are used for speedy in-space communications, to other satellite firms, company President Gwynne Shotwell said at a ...

5. Laser communication in space - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_communication_in_space

   Assuming available laser technology, and considering the divergence of the interferometric signals, the range for satellite-to-satellite communications has been estimated to be approximately 2,000 km (1,200 mi). [83] These estimates are applicable to an array of satellites orbiting the Earth.

6. Optical mesh network - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_mesh_network

   Switching, multiplexing, and grooming of traffic in an OEO device. Optical mesh networks refer to transport networks that are built directly off the mesh-like fiber infrastructure deployed in metropolitan, regional, national, or international (e.g., trans-oceanic) areas by deploying optical transport equipment that is capable of switching traffic (at the wavelength or sub-wavelength level ...

7. List of laser types - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_laser_types

   Laser types with distinct laser lines are shown above the wavelength bar, while below are shown lasers that can emit in a wavelength range. The height of the lines and bars gives an indication of the maximal power/pulse energy commercially available, while the color codifies the type of laser material (see the figure description for details).

8. Laser Communications Relay Demonstration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_Communications_Relay...

   The Laser Communications Relay Demonstration (LCRD) is a NASA mission that will test laser communication in space for extremely long distances, [1] between Earth and geosynchronous orbit. After being integrated into STPSat-6 , a part of STP-3 , LCRD launched on 7 December 2021 on an Atlas V 551.

9. Lidar - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lidar

   Lidar (/ ˈ l aɪ d ɑːr /, also LIDAR, LiDAR or LADAR, an acronym of "light detection and ranging" [1] or "laser imaging, detection, and ranging" [2]) is a method for determining ranges by targeting an object or a surface with a laser and measuring the time for the reflected light to return to the receiver.
