Abstract

Photonic lanterns offer an efficient solution to transition distorted light from free space into small aperture or single-mode waveguide devices. As a result, photonic lanterns can be useful for free space optical communications, where light is transmitted across a channel with varying atmospheric conditions. This paper will give an overview of studies using photonic lanterns in photon counting optical communication receivers where the detectors are small in aperture and fiber coupled. This paper will also survey other potential uses of photonic lanterns in coherent optical communication receivers or as wavefront sensors in adaptive optical systems.
