Official Description

Quantum communication systems, quantum-enhanced LiDAR, and quantum sensing platforms share a critical and unmet instrumentation need: a spectrometer capable of simultaneously achieving large étendue (high optical throughput) and high spectral resolution. In satellite-based and ground-based quantum key distribution (QKD), ground station receivers must collect single photons from spatially extended fields of view — demanding large étendue — while rejecting broadband background noise, including sol...
