As instruments in space become more complex they produce more data. We are at the limit of what is possible to transmit with radio-frequency transmissions, and must move into the optical domain to continue to grow the scientific output of space. This has the added benefit of having no license fees, and can enabling new techniques such as quantum encryption on a global scale. This presentation will focus on what ANU is doing in the optical communications domain, and how it might impact on ANU science for remote locations and space. |
