In a study published in the journal
Nature Communications, the team behind the world record describe how they combined phase stabilization technology with advanced self-guiding optical terminals.
The researchers say their laser will allow science such as Einstein s theory of general relativity to be tested more precisely than ever before.
Record-breaking laser link
The combination of phase stabilization technology and advanced self-guiding optical terminals allows laser signals to be sent from one point to another without interference from the atmosphere. We can correct for atmospheric turbulence in 3D, that is, left-right, up-down and, critically, along the line of flight, explains lead author Benjamin Dix-Matthews, a PhD student at ICRAR and UWA.
Scientists from Australia have set a world record for the most stable transmission of a laser signal through the atmosphere. The team combined Aussie phase stabilisation technology with advanced self-guiding optical terminals to effectively eliminate atmospheric turbulence, an advance which could help test Einstein s theory of general relativity.
Researchers from The University of Western Australia have examined the reasons why some Australians remain undecided about whether or not to receive a.

Forrest scholarships support budding young scientists
Three students have been awarded prestigious Forrest Scholarships to carry out research at The University of Western Australia.
They will develop solutions to complex global challenges including understanding the role DNA plays in the sexual maturity and life span of animals, developing an early warning system for coastal erosion and flooding for use across Australia and research into how molecules are composed.
They join two recipients who will study at Curtin University and one at Murdoch University.
The scholarships are possible through the Forrest Research Foundation, which aims to attract the brightest minds to conduct research in Western Australia.
