Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to a photonic transmission system. In an illustrative example, a photonic transmission system may include a network of Photonic Energy Transmission and Communication System (PETACS). The PETACS, for example, may include a concentrator to receive solar energy to power various photonic loads. The concentrator may, for example, be configured to track an incoming light beam to a photovoltaic cell. For example, the PETACS may include a polarizing beam multiplexing system (PBMS). The PBMS may, for example, split a received light beam into multiple beams based on predetermined ranges of wavelengths. The PBMS may then power various photonic loads independently and simultaneously corresponding to a range of wavelengths. For example, the PETACS may transmit excess photonic energy and/or data to a remote PETACS using a steerable beam transceiver unit. Various embodiments may advantageously improve utilization of photonic energy and increase generation efficiency from solar energy.
