Modulating Retro-Reflectors Links In High Turbulence: Challenges And Solutions

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Modulating retro-reflectors allow free space optical communication without the need of a laser and tracking on one end of the link. However, they can have high scintillation and low optical return power. A variety of optical and error correcting techniques can overcome these challenges.
