| | ALFONSO - Advanced Free Space Optics (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | ALFONSO represents the next generation of commerical Free Space Optics, overcoming present-day limitations of atmospheric penetration, fade margin, scintillation, alignment, power and bandwidth. |
 | | In the ALFONSO programme, development of a novel class of laser light source, the mid-infrared, optically pumped, vertical external-cavity surface-emitting laser (mid-IR OP-VECSEL), is used to address the problems and constraints of modern high-performance FSO communications. |
 | | In concert with this laser development, advanced AO techniques for the compensation of environmental misalignment and atmospheric turbulence correction are employed. |
