Tbit/s line-rate satellite feeder links enabled by coherent modulation and full-adaptive optics

Abstract Free-space optical (FSO) communication technologies constitute a solution to cope with the bandwidth demand of future satellite-ground networks. They may overcome the RF bottleneck and attain data rates in the order of Tbit/s with only a handful of ground stations. Here, we demonstrate sing...
