Abstract
A net zero power communications system comprising a laser beam generator, a black body, a cooled cavity, an optical absorber in the cooled cavity, and a controller. The controller is configured to identify information for transmission. The controller is configured to control the laser beam generator to emit laser beam pulses at the optical absorber layer that changes a temperature of the optical absorber layer with a pattern that causes the optical absorber layer to emit black body radiation from the cooled cavity to thereby encode the information.
