This paper summarizes recent work in developing space laser communications hardware at MIT Lincoln Laboratory, describing how state-of-the-art fiber optic components provide performance and reliability in emerging lasercom system designs.
A quantum state analysis is applied to a potential architecture for entanglement distribution from space to asses several design choices and maximize the distribution rate while maintaining entanglement quality.

We investigate entanglement source synchronization using a forwarded-pump signal sent over a 3.2-km free-space retro-reflected link. Results show sub-picosecond alignment between the sources. The paper considers several fundamental and practical aspects of this approach.
We designed and built two polarization entanglement sources optimized for high-rate quantum networking under pump power constraints. We demonstrated entanglement swapping between the sources.
