Ultra-narrow spectral response of a hybrid plasmonic-grating sensor
Mahmoud H. Elshorbagy, Alexander Cuadrado, Braulio Garcia-Camara +3
We configure and analyze a nanostructured device that hybridizes grating modes and surface plasmon resonances. The model uses an effective index of refraction that considers the vo…
Ground-based gamma-ray telescopes as ground stations in deep-space lasercom
Alberto Carrasco-Casado, Jose Manuel Sanchez-Pena, Ricardo Vergaz
As the amount of information to be transmitted from deep-space rapidly increases, the radiofrequency technology has become a bottleneck in space communications. RF is already limit…
CTA telescopes as deep-space lasercom ground receivers
Alberto Carrasco-Casado, Jose Manuel Sanchez-Pena, Ricardo Vergaz
The amount of scientific data to be transmitted from deep-space probes is very limited due to RF-communications constraints. Free-space optical communication can alleviate this bot…
Low-Impact Air-to-Ground Free-Space Optical Communication System Design and First Results
Alberto Carrasco-Casado, Eva Oton, Ricardo Vergaz +3
An air-to-ground free-space optical communication system has been designed and partially developed. The design covers both the communications between the airborne and the ground st…
All-Optical Nanometric Switch based on the Directional Scattering of Semiconductor Nanoparticles
Braulio Garcia-Camara, J. Francisco Algorri, Alexander Cuadrado +4
A structure based on a dimer of silicon nanoparticles, presenting directional scattering in the visible range, was studied as a new design of an all-optical switch. The combination…
Design and early development of a UAV terminal and a ground station for laser communications
Alberto Carrasco-Casado, Ricardo Vergaz, Jose M. Sanchez-Pena
A free-space laser communication system has been designed and partially developed as an alternative to standard RF links from UAV to ground stations. This project belongs to the SI…
Size dependence of the Directional Scattering Conditions on Semiconductor Nanoparticles
Braulio Garcia-Camara, Jose Francisco Algorri, Alexander Cuadrado +3
The resonant modes observed in semiconductor nanoparticles and the coherence interaction between them, producing directional light scattering, may be very interesting for CMOS inte…
Feasibility of utilizing Cherenkov Telescope Array gamma-ray telescopes as free-space optical communication ground stations
Alberto Carrasco-Casado, Mariafernanda Vilera, Ricardo Vergaz +1
The signals that will be received on Earth from deep-space probes in future implementations of free-space optical communication will be extremely weak, and new ground stations will…
