Abstract
We present a design for an optical data communications
receiver–transmitter pair based on the holographic correction of a
large diameter, poor-quality, reflecting primary mirror. The
telescope has a narrow bandwidth (<0.1 nm) with good signal
frequency isolation (>60 dB) and is scalable to meter-class
apertures. We demonstrate the correction of a reflector telescope
with over 2000 waves of aberration to diffraction-limited operation,
capable of handling data transmission rates up to 100 GHz.
