Encoding Information with Light’s Orbital Angular Momentum Light is the future of communication‚ traveling at 3‚000‚000 meters per second‚ the cosmic speed limit of the universe. Its tremendous speed makes it optimal for data transmission. The conventional method to encode information in light is through amplitude modulation‚ i.e. light pulses‚ time division multiplexing‚ i.e. delaying the time light beams enter a channel‚ and wavelength multiplexing‚ i.e. multiple beams of light in one channel

A Hohmann transfer orbit is an elliptical orbit used to switch from one circular orbit to another on the same plane. The Hohmann transfer is based upon two main concepts: conservation of angular momentum and conservation of total mechanical energy. It is these two concepts and their corresponding equations that allow one to evaluate
