Deflective Sunshades: conceptual design and origami-inspired folding strategy
Benedetta Marazzato, Jonas Seiler, Harry Holt +5
Space-based solar radiation management has been proposed as a direct means of modulating Earth's radiative balance by reducing incident solar flux. A prominent concept consists of…
Rydberg Receivers for Space Applications
Gianluca Allinson, Mark Bason, Alexis Bonnin +10
Rydberg-atom sensors convert radiofrequency, microwave and terahertz fields into optical signals with SI-traceable calibration, high sensitivity, and broad tunability. This review…
Detection of isolated specular reflection for calibration of cloud thermodynamic phase estimation with quantum parametric mode sorting LIDAR
Richard J. Murchie, Dolf Huybrechts, Aaron Strangfeld +1
Specular reflection can be problematic for the determination of the cloud thermodynamic phase for near-nadir-pointing space LIDARs. A LIDAR system biased towards the specular contr…
Spoofing resilience for simple-detection quantum illumination LIDAR
Richard J. Murchie, John Jeffers
Object detection and range finding using a weak light source is vulnerable to jamming and spoofing attacks by an intruder. Quantum illumination with nonsimultaneous, phase-insensit…
