The deep-space optical communication link could revolutionize how scientists communicate with spacecraft as they explore the ...

Researchers in the Oregon State University College of Engineering have developed new technology for uranium enrichment ...

Using an innovative laser measurement system, previously unknown and highly complex mechanisms of energy exchange between ...

Another benefit is that laser transmitters and receivers are way smaller and lighter than huge radio antennas, which is crucial for reducing launch costs and increasing flexibility for spacecraft.

Scientists from the University of Rochester and UC Santa Barbara have built a laser so small it can sit on a penny. But don’t let its size fool you. This tiny laser could power the next generation of ...

The European Space Agency (ESA) successfully established a transmission-reception optical link with NASA's Deep Space Optical ...

This system consists out of a ground-based laser transmitter and receiver along with a space-based laser transceiver, which for this experiment was positioned at a distance of 31 million ...

Using laser communication, NASA streamed a cat video from almost 20 million miles away, or 40 round-trip flights to the moon.

It includes ten kilowatt-class continuous wavelength fiber-based laser transmitters modified to support the modulation formats.

NASA’s Deep Space Optical Communications (DSOC) experiment beamed a near-infrared laser from nearly 10 million miles away to the Hale Telescope at Caltech’s Palomar Observatory in San Diego ...
