Photonic Technologies in Space Applications

by Demetrio Lopez

The use of photonic technologies for space applications has risen the problem related to the ability of optoelectronic and optic components to withstand space environment as all optoelectronic and optic components come from terrestrial applications. Therefore, the development of...

1. Distribution of pairs of entangled photons using the International Space Station (ISS). Entangled photon pairs are distributed to two separated places on Earth.

Quantum Transceiver for secure Space Communications

by Laura Peñate

Quantum communications offers many advantages for secure data transmission, e.g. confidentiality, integrity, eavesdropper’s detectability. Information is encoded in quantum bits (qubits), intrinsic physical properties, such as polarization of a photon. Quantum physics allows...
