The speed and quality of transferring information between earth and space can be greatly enhanced by adaptive optical systems that provide correction for atmospheric aberrations. The laser-generated guidestars that lie at the heart of these systems must be bright, preferably multi-coloured and with low background. By taking advantage of the unique optical properties of diamond, this project aims to develop lasers that produce these advanced features to fulfil the needs of the space industry sector. These outcomes are expected to create new services and products in the areas of space situational awareness, space debris management and satellite communications, and have major spin-off benefits to astronomy and defence.

自适应光学系统可以对大气像差进行校正，从而大大提高地球和空间之间信息传输的速度和质量。位于这些系统核心的激光产生的导航星必须是明亮的，最好是多色的，并且具有低背景。通过利用钻石独特的光学特性，该项目旨在开发产生这些先进功能的激光器，以满足空间工业部门的需求。预计这些成果将在空间情况认识、空间碎片管理和卫星通信等领域创造新的服务和产品，并对天文学和国防产生重大的附带利益。
