FORTHCOMING RESEARCH PRESENTATIONMeysam Ghanbari

THE RESEARCH QUESTION

Can an optical receiver separate arrival angle, pointing error, jitter and turbulence without training a neural network?

A learning-free, three-stage estimator uses quadrant imbalance and the lens-array power profile to separate these coupled effects in a multi-aperture free-space optical receiver.

FORTHCOMING RESEARCH PRESENTATIONMeysam Ghanbari

THE RESEARCH QUESTION

What if a satellite could read data from light without reserving a separate share of its power for communication?

Polarization carries the information, while matched converter branches recover AC data signals and DC harvested energy from the same optical power.

PLANNED RESEARCH PRESENTATIONMeysam Ghanbari

THE RESEARCH QUESTION

What if a satellite optical receiver could predict where the beam will be when its steering command takes effect?

PIR-Twin predicts line-of-sight motion at the future steering-command actuation time, helping optical receivers account for control delay.

TWO FORTHCOMING RESEARCH PRESENTATIONSMeysam Ghanbari

THE RESEARCH QUESTION

How can an optical receiver survive both too much light and too little signal?

Spatially separated apertures with progressively stronger fixed attenuation let the receiver select a linear branch across a changing optical power range.
