Public award description
WE PROPOSE A NOVEL NEW ARCHITECTURE FOR A QUANTUM COMMUNICATIONS LASER TRANSMITTER THAT IS DESIGNED FOR FREE-SPACE POLARIZATION ENCODED QUANTUM KEY DISTRIBUTION (QKD) BETWEEN A SPACECRAFT AND A GROUND BASED SYSTEM. THE TRANSMITTER WILL OPERATE AT 775 NM, A WAVELENGTH THAT HAS PREVIOUSLY BEEN ANALYZED TO BE OPTIMIZE FREE-SPACE QKD DUE TO THE COMBINED INFLUENCE OF ATMOSPHERE TRANSITION AND DETECTION EFFICIENCY BY SI:APD DETECTORS. HYBRID INTEGRATION WILL BE USED TO DESIGN AND FABRICATE A COMPACT, RUGGED, AND POWER EFFICIENT MODULE THAT CAN MEET ALL OF THE DEMANDING ENVIRONMENT REQUIREMENTS FOR SPACE BASED OPTICAL COMPONENTS.
