Published purpose

This project works towards delivering ground-based power to HAPS or satellites, to increase power budgets for high-data-rates and capacities, moving heavy equipment to the ground. This will enable always-on performance with reliable power delivery, free of the day-night cycle or limits of installed battery capacity. Main activities are: (1) AI-enhanced photonic power converter design & characterization (2) System modeling & validation for FSO data & power transmission (3) Free space optical data+power beaming demonstration using NRC’s ARTEMIS optical ground station.
