Abstract

Free-space optical and quantum communications are key enablers of next-generation secure European constellations (e.g., SAGA, IRIS2). This thesis investigates how atmospheric turbulence affects beam propagation—beam broadening and wandering, coherence loss, and scintillation—and the consequent impact on lasercom and QKD performance.

Investigation of Turbulence Effects on Free-Space Optical and Quantum Communication Systems
Free-space optical and quantum communications are key enablers of next-generation secure European constellations (e.g., SAGA, IRIS2). This thesis investigates how atmospheric turbulence affects beam propagation—beam broadening and wandering, coherence loss, and scintillation—and the consequent impact on lasercom and QKD performance.
