    As radio bandwidth becomes saturated, the interest in optical communications in space is increasing because data transmission in space is much faster and more secure.  Join NeoPhotonics VP, Nicolas Herriau, and John Houghton as they discuss the future of space connectivity.

    5. Sensing with Coherent Light and LiDAR

    Play Episode Listen Later May 26, 2020 11:38


    Laser linewidth is the finite spectral width related to phase fluctuations in emitted laser light. A lower linewidth implies a purer laser frequency. If a laser’s phase noise is zero, it has a single pure frequency, which is just a line in the frequency domain. Ergun Canoglu, PhD and Director of Sensor Products is interviewed […]
