01 · THE PROBLEM
What this project addresses
A space optical receiver may need to recover information while also managing the energy available from the received optical signal.
02 · THE IDEA
System concept
Coordinate information and energy paths through Stokes-orthogonal signaling so the same inter-satellite optical link can be studied as a joint communication-and-power system.
03 · TECHNICAL APPROACH
How the research is structured
01Polarization-domain signaling
02Receiver path modeling
03Information-performance analysis
04Optical energy-transfer evaluation
04 · KEY CONTRIBUTIONS
What the research contributes
- Power-neutral system formulation
- Stokes-orthogonal signaling architecture
- Joint information-and-energy analysis
05 · WHY IT MATTERS
Engineering relevance
The research explores energy-aware optical terminal concepts for spacecraft where power, aperture and payload resources are tightly constrained.
