Approaches to Mitigate Atmospheric Fluctuations – Signal Processing
EF 2019-20 · 2020-03-19
Résumé
Mitigation of atmospheric fluctuations is an absolute necessity for the full benefits of high bandwidth (> 1 Tbs) satellite-based optical communications to be realized. For satellite-based optical communications, the same solution is not sufficient to mitigate the impact of atmospheric fluctuations in the strong scintillation regime, particularly for high bandwidth applications. In particular, and in contrast to astronomy, a high degree of phase recovery is required in order to fully benefit from a large collection area while also enabling optical focusing to a diffraction-limited spot as required for high bandwidth coherent optical processing. In this project, the team will investigate new signal processing approaches towards the development of optical detection systems for jointly estimating the focal plane intensity distribution as well as accomplishing combining or partial phase correction to support the advancement of satellite-based optical commuications.

Mitigation of atmospheric fluctuations is an absolute necessity for the full benefits of high bandwidth (> 1 Tbs) satellite-based optical communications to be realized. For satellite-based optical communications, the same solution is not sufficient to mitigate the impact of atmospheric fluctuations in the strong scintillation regime, particularly for high bandwidth applications.

Description (French)
L'atténuation des fluctuations atmosphériques est une nécessité absolue pour réaliser pleinement les avantages des communications optiques par satellite à large bande passante (> 1 Tbs). Pour les communications optiques par satellite, la même solution n'est pas suffisante pour atténuer l'impact des fluctuations atmosphériques dans le régime de scintillation forte, en particulier pour les applications à large bande passante. En particulier, et contrairement à l'astronomie, un haut degré de récupération de phase est nécessaire afin de bénéficier pleinement d'une grande zone de collecte tout en permettant également la focalisation optique sur un spot limité en diffraction, comme requis pour un traitement optique cohérent à large bande passante. Dans ce projet, l'équipe étudiera de nouvelles approches de traitement du signal vers le développement de systèmes de détection optique pour estimer conjointement la distribution d'intensité du plan focal ainsi que pour réaliser la combinaison ou la correction de phase partielle pour soutenir l'avancement des communications optiques par satellite.
