Investigation of the phase-space distribution of the BPSK-encoded optical coherent signal from a geostationary satellite — •Hüseyin Vural1, Conrad Rössler1, Andrew Reeves2, Bastian Hacker1, Thomas Dirmeier1, Karen Saucke3, and Christoph Marquardt11Max-Planck Institut für die Physik des Lichts (MPL) — 2Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR) - Institut für Kommunikation und Navigation — 3Tesat Spacecom

Coherent optical communication between a satellite and a terrestrial ground station can facilitate classical as well as quantum-limited communication. In a recent paper, we demonstrated quantum limited signals from a geostationary satellite in a homodyning measurement, that indicate the viability of long-distance quantum key distribution (QKD) and global secure communication. Here, we investigate the phase-space distribution of the BPSK-encoded coherent signal from the same satellite, however at an optical ground station in an urban area and by heterodyning the quantum signal with a free running commercial laser. Our results indicate that scalable solutions for quantum-limited signals may be in reach.
