COAT 2025 – Communications and Observations through Atmospheric Turbulence

 

COAT 2025 is a multidisciplinary workshop to address the biggest challenges in free-space optical propagation from astronomy to optical satellite links.
Cloud monitoring and forecasting is critical for many industries. With tools from Reuniwatt, you can monitor the cloud cover in real time and make accurate predictions to increase the efficiency of your services. Our products include two state-of-the-art all-sky imagers: Sky InSight™ is using the infrared thermal spectrum, which allows an accurate forecast of the cloud movements and upcoming GHI even before sunrise. Sky Cam Vision™ uses the visible light spectrum.

Continuous all-sky observation with the thermal infrared imager Sky InSight™

 

On average, clouds cover approximately 67% of Earth’s surface, making accurate cloud cover and clear sky data crucial for effective Earth observation applications. This information is vital for various fields, including remote sensing and satellite communications.
Free space optical communications (FSOC), or laser communications, has matured significantly in recent years, with the potential to provide global broadband coverage. However, two main challenges persist in achieving performance comparable to terrestrial long-haul fiber networks:

  1. Achieving terabit data rates: As FSOC transitions from fiber to free space, new challenges emerge in realizing ultra-high data rates.

  2. Atmospheric disturbances: Clouds and other atmospheric effects pose significant obstacles to reliable ground-to-space and space-to-ground links.

To address these challenges and enhance FSOC’s reliability and performance, several key factors are necessary:

  • Developing a network of optical ground stations

  • Implementing advanced weather forecasting systems

  • Improving atmospheric turbulence mitigation techniques

  • Enhancing optical power delivery and reference technologies
