Research
OSpace (Optical Wireless and Future Space Networks): The increasing demand for high-speed data transmission and congestion in the conventional wireless spectrum are creating exciting opportunities for optical wireless. Our current research focuses on optical wireless technology operating in the near-infrared band, which is widely referred to as free-space optics or lasercom. This technology, with an extremely wide unregulated bandwidth and narrow beam divergence, is capable of delivering high data-rate signals (e.g., >1 Gb/s) over long distances (e.g., >1000 km). Low-SWaP (size, weight, and power) terminals and high-secure transmission are also enabled by optical wireless. However, significant challenges are still perceived, including adverse effects of the atmospheric transmission medium and the requirements for highly precise beam alignment. We are working on various intelligent techniques for enabling reliable optical wireless systems. We are also interested in future space networks (SpaceNets), in which our research merges optical wireless with AI as a potential enabler for future satellite constellation networks, space quantum internet, and interplanetary internet.
