Experimental demonstration of multi-aperture digital coherent combining over a 3.2-km free-space link

The next generation free-space optical communications infrastructure will need to support a wide variety of space-to-ground links. As a result of the limited size, weight, and power on space-borne assets, the ground terminals need to scale efficiently to large collection areas to support extremely l...
