Super-Gaussian approximations for optimum far-field irradiance in intersatellite optical communications: coherent and incoherent beam shaping
Mario Badás Aldecocea, Yves van Gennip, Pierre Piron +2
Intersatellite optical communication links are strongly affected by transmitter pointing jitter, which stochastically modulates the received optical power and degrades communicatio…
Annular beams for reliable intersatellite optical communications
Mario Badás Aldecocea, Edward Pauwels, Jasper Bouwmeester +2
Free-space optical communications (FSOC) are a key enabling technology for future high-capacity space-based networks. Particularly, the backbone of global communication relies on i…
Peculiar rainbows in Saturn's E ring: Uncovering luminous bands near Enceladus
Niels Rubbrecht, Stéphanie Cazaux, Benoît Seignovert +4
We report observations of stripe-like features in Enceladus' plumes captured simultaneously by Cassini's VIMS-IR and ISS NAC instruments during flyby E17, with similar patterns see…
Development of a photonic crystal spectrometer for greenhouse gas measurements
Marijn Siemonsa, Martijn Veen, Irina Malysheva +9
The need of atmospheric information with a higher spatial and temporal resolution drives the development of small satellites and satellite constellations to complement satellite fl…
