OPTICAL DUPLICATE SYSTEM FOR SATELLITE-GROUND LASER COMMUNICATION: REDUCTION OF THE EFFECTS OF ATMOSPHERIC TURBULENCE AND SIMPLIFICATION OF THE OPTICAL GROUND STATION

摘要

We propose an optical duplicate system to generate multiple beams from a single beam for reducing the effects of atmospheric turbulence, and to control the divergence angle of the "communication" and "beacon" light beams suitably. This simultaneously removes the need for mechanical control and simplifies ground operation.
