Title:
Mitacs - free-space optical data and power transmission with ground station demonstrator (Freespace)
Agreement Number:
1001147
Agreement Value:
$264,200.00
Agreement Date:
Apr 1, 2023 - Mar 31, 2026
Description:
This project works towards delivering ground-based power to HAPS or satellites, to increase power budgets for high-data-rates and capacities, moving heavy equipment to the ground. This will enable always-on performance with reliable power delivery, free of the day-night cycle or limits of installed battery capacity. Main activities are: (1) AI-enhanced photonic power converter design & characterization (2) System modeling & validation for FSO data & power transmission (3) Free space optical data+power beaming demonstration using NRC’s ARTEMIS optical ground station.
