Abstract
Optical transmission over space links between satellites in intra-orbital constellations or inter-orbital constellations and optical ground stations are currently attracting a lot of attention, both for their ultra-high capacities reaching multi-tera-bits/sec and for their use in quantum key distribution for coding to transmitting over public channels. This paper outlines the followings: (i) Multi-dimensional considerations to reach Tera-bits/sec that include multiplexing of polarized modes, high-order modulation formats, high speed integrated photonic complex modulations, digital signal processing techniques etc.; (ii) Continuous variable quantum key distribution (CV-QKD) achieved through constant amplitude zero auto-correlation (CAZAC) sequence for quantum level signaling with phase-coded BB84- protocol, decorrelation , high order sampling rate and digital signal processing for quantum key recovery. (iii) Discussion of advantages and disadvantages of both coherent and self-coherent reception techniques for space transmission channels for multi-photons to sub-photon energy reception and transmission; (iv) Presentation of initial transmission results and Terabits/s optical transmission systems; (vi) Analytical considerations of CV-QKD space self-homodyne and homodyne reception system employing CAZAC and cross-correlation decoding as a photonic-pre-processor. Additional presentation content can be accessed on the supplemental content page.
