Space Laser Communications: Systems, Technologies, and Applications
Laser communication links in space are attractive alternatives to present-day microwave links. This tutorial describes the basic concept and the functions of an optical terminal on board a spacecraft. It points out the differences between free-space optical links on one hand and glass fiber systems and microwave directional links on the other hand. The requirements on data transmitters and rece...
متن کاملStabilized, Integrated, Far-Infrared Laser System for NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center
DeMaria ElectroOptics Systems (DEOS) has delivered a highly-integrated, turnkey, Far-Infrared laser system to NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center, as a precursor for a system for SOFIA. This system has a number of unique features including: a permanently sealed-off 100W-class pump laser, an absolute heterodyne frequency lock for the pump laser, a folded extended-service sealed-off FIR laser, all e...
متن کاملFree Space Optical Communications System Pointer
Free Space Optical (FSO) communications pointing problems will be described and a solution presented. Conventional systems used in sea, land, and space are illustrated. Our integrated approach investigates three major problems areas: kinematics, structure, and dexterity. Their interrelationship will be discussed.
متن کاملAdaptive receive telescope array for coherent free-space laser communications
In present, conventional system concepts for laser line-of-sight communications, mechanical coarseand ne-pointing units have to be implemented, resulting in a massive and bulky setup. Taking advantage of the phased array's inertia-free steering capability reduces the requirements on the ne-pointing mechanism and could even make it unnecessary. We are currently designing, breadboarding and testi...
متن کاملSDR ARCHITECTURE Software Defined Radio Architecture for NASA ’ s Space Communications
The National Aeronautics and Space A d m i n i s t r a t i o n (NASA) is developing a standardized platform for future space communications needs, based on software-defined radio (SDR) concepts. The goal is to have a system that does not require a complete custom hardware/software design for each mission. Instead, NASA desires an adaptable and scalable system that can accommodate the performanc...
