Diffractive optical element for super-Gaussian beam shaping on intersatellite optical communications

Pointing jitter can significantly degrade the performance of intersatellite optical communication links. This work investigates diffractive optical beam shaping as a means of generating super-Gaussian profiles with reduced sensitivity to transmitter misalignment. Phase screens are designed using a Gerchberg--Saxton pha...
