Research abstract
Torrey Pines Logic, Inc. (TPL) proposes developing a
complete Free Space Optical communication system
design, initial BoM and Phase II development roadmap for
a lightweight FSO communication link designed to
accommodate the sub-orbital to ground communication requirements. The Phase I effort will
conclude with a TRL 3-5 demonstration.
Target markets include NASA, DoD, and international needs for low-power high-speed 99.9%+ reliability remote data connection nodes.
