Phasing of Ground-based Optical Arrays for Space Applications
Delivery of optical power to targets in space has many applications, including optical communication, active sensing, laser propulsion, and the removal of space debris. However, large monolithic optics required to obtain high directivity are costly and difficult to slew at the rates required to trac...
