    • Implementation and validation of a CubeSat laser transmitter 

      Kingsbury, R. W.; Caplan, D. O.; Cahoy, K. L. (SPIE, 2016)
      The paper presents implementation and validation results for a CubeSat-scale laser transmitter. The master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) design produces a 1550 nm, 200mW average power optical signal through the use of ...

    • Trapped photoelectrons during spacecraft charging in sunlight 

      Cahoy, K.; Lai, S. T. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2015-09)
      For a dielectric spacecraft charging in sunlight, the potentials are different on the sunlit and dark sides. Differential charging of spacecraft surfaces can trap low-energy electrons by means of potential wells and barriers. ...

    • Planetary Imaging Concept Testbed Using a Recoverable Experiment-Coronagraph (PICTURE C) 

      Cook, T.; Cahoy, K.; Chakrabarti, S.; Douglas, E.; Finn, S. C.; e.a. (SPIE, 2015)
      An exoplanet mission based on a high-altitude balloon is a next logical step in humanity's quest to explore Earthlike planets in Earthlike orbits orbiting Sunlike stars. The mission described here is capable of spectrally ...
