Coherent laser links for space applications: This project seeks equipment to establish a deployable, free-space, coherent laser link to enable Australia’s continued leadership and involvement in large-scale international space projects. It would support optical free-space frequency transfer to expand the capability of the European Space Agency’s Atomic Clock Ensemble in Space mission; tests to validate the inter-satellite interferometry acquisition system for the NASA Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment follow-on mission; and test-bed development for advanced coherent optical communications systems. Coherent, free-space laser links are an emerging technology for a range of high-impact research fields. The project would enable research relying on precision measurements of time and frequency; advanced inter-satellite laser interferometry, and coherent free-space optical communications.

空间应用的相干激光链路： 该项目寻求建立可部署的自由空间相干激光链路的设备，以使澳大利亚能够继续领导和参与大型国际空间项目。它将支持光学自由空间频率转移，以扩大欧洲航天局空间原子钟环绕使命的能力;为美国航天局重力恢复和气候实验后续使命验证卫星间干涉测量采集系统的测试;以及先进相干光通信系统的测试台开发。相干自由空间激光链路是一种新兴技术，可用于一系列影响力大的研究领域。该项目将使研究能够依靠精确的时间和频率测量、先进的卫星间激光干涉测量和相干自由空间光通信。
