Research abstract

NUBURU is proposing a high power blue laser based power beaming system to provide up to 1kW of electrical power at a remote site, 1GPS bi-directional lasercom data link between terminals, and, because the laser is visible, unaided visual navigation from one site to the next.nbsp;nbsp; The system can be configured as a point-to-point system or a broadcast system depending on the needs of the mission. This approach to power distribution on either the lunar surface or other planets such as Mars eliminates the need to bring heavy equipment to these sites to install copper or aluminum wires.nbsp; Given the cost of lifting a kg of weight to these worlds, it is clearnbsp;that power beaming is an ideal solution.
