• “Combing” Light: ITMO Researchers Find Reliable and Fast Way to Transmit Data in Space

  …(light radiation intensity), but also a projection of the orbital angular momentum. The latter is a parameter that makes it possible to create several independent data transmission channels, akin to different radio frequencies. The more projections there are, the more information can be encoded into a single beam. Additionally, these projections do not interfere with…
