1 SATELLITE SYSTEM USING OPTICAL GATEWAYS AND GROUND BASED BEAMFORMING US15682785 2017-08-22 US20180069629A1 2018-03-08 Ghislain Turgeon; Vijaya Gallagher; Leah Wang
Described herein are ground based subsystems, and related methods, for use in transmitting an optical feeder uplink beam to a satellite that includes a multiple element antenna feed array and that is configured to accept the optical feeder uplink beam and in dependence thereon use the multiple element antenna feed array to produce and transmit a plurality of radio frequency (RF) service downlink beams to service terminals. Certain embodiments are related to a ground based beamformer (GBBF) for inclusion in a ground based subsystem, and methods for use therewith. Beneficially, embodiments described herein allow for flexible antenna beam forming for large signal bandwidth without the limitation associated with the available gateway uplink and downlink spectrum at RF frequencies. Also described herein are space based subsystems for use with such ground based subsystems.

4 Methods, devices and systems that dissipate heat and facilitate optical alignment in optical communications modules US14872043 2015-09-30 US09791645B2 2017-10-17 David J. K. Meadowcroft; Robert G. Ritter; Pengyue Wen; Hui Xu
A heat dissipation system for an optical communications module is provided that includes a cold block on which the optoelectronic components and a lens assembly of an OSA of the module are mounted. The cold block has precisely-controlled mounting surface heights that precisely passively align the lens assembly in directions normal to mounting surfaces of the cold block. The cold block is made of a material of very high thermal conductivity, typically copper, so that heat generated by the optoelectronic components is dissipated into the cold block to maintain the optoelectronic components well below maximum allowable temperatures. In addition, an optical interface device of the OSA has a low-profile and an optical configuration that allows it to be used with a high optical fiber count.

10 Method and apparatus for fault-tolerant quantum communication based on solid-state photon emitters US12090020 2006-10-11 US08913900B2 2014-12-16 Mikhail Lukin; Lilian I. Childress; Jacob M. Taylor; Anders S. Sorensen
A novel method and apparatus for long distance quantum communication in realistic, lossy photonic channels is disclosed. The method uses single emitters of light as intermediate nodes in the channel. One electronic spin and one nuclear spin coupled via the contact hyperfine interaction in each emitter, provide quantum memory and enable active error purification. It is shown that the fixed, minimal physical resources associated with these two degrees of freedom suffice to correct arbitrary errors, making our protocol robust to all realistic sources of decoherence. The method is particularly well suited for implementation using recently-developed solid-state nano-photonic devices.
