Prototype Development and Validation of a Beam-Divergence Control System for Free-Space Laser Communications
Alberto Carrasco-Casado, Koichi Shiratama, Dimitar Kolev +9
Being able to dynamically control the transmitted-beam divergence can bring important advantages in free-space optical communications. Specifically, this technique can help to opti…
Intersatellite-link demonstration mission between CubeSOTA (LEO CubeSat) and ETS9-HICALI (GEO satellite)
Alberto Carrasco-Casado, Phong Xuan Do, Dimitar Kolev +7
LEO-to-GEO intersatellite links using laser communications bring important benefits to greatly enhance applications such as downloading big amounts of data from LEO satellites by u…
Optical communication on CubeSats - Enabling the next era in space science
Alberto Carrasco-Casado, Abhijit Biswas, Renny Fields +4
CubeSats are excellent platforms to rapidly perform simple space experiments. Several hundreds of CubeSats have already been successfully launched in the past few years and the num…
QKD from a microsatellite: the SOTA experience
Alberto Carrasco-Casado, Hideki Takenaka, Mikio Fujiwara +3
The transmission and reception of polarized quantum-limited signals from space is of capital interest for a variety of fundamental-physics experiments and quantum-communication pro…
Satellite-to-ground quantum communication using a 50-kg-class micro-satellite
Hideki Takenaka, Alberto Carrasco-Casado, Mikio Fujiwara +3
Recent rapid growth in the number of satellite-constellation programs for remote sensing and communications, thanks to the availability of small-size and low-cost satellites, provi…
Updating Quantum Cryptography Report ver. 1
Donna Dodson, Mikio Fujiwara, Philippe Grangier +24
Quantum cryptographic technology (QCT) is expected to be a fundamental technology for realizing long-term information security even against as-yet-unknown future technologies. More…
