Laser beam steering for GRACE Follow-On intersatellite interferometry.
The GRACE Follow-On satellites will use, for the first time, a Laser Ranging Interferometer to measure intersatellite distance changes from which fluctuations in Earth's geoid can be inferred. We have investigated the beam steering method that is required to maintain the laser link between the satellites. Although developed for the specific needs of the GRACE Follow-On mission, the beam steerin...
متن کاملIntersatellite laser ranging instrument for the GRACE follow-on mission
The Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) has demonstrated that low–low satellite-tosatellite tracking enables monitoring the time variations of the Earth’s gravity field on a global scale, in particular those caused by mass-transport within the hydrosphere. Due to the importance of long-term continued monitoring of the variations of the Earth’s gravitational field and the limited lif...
متن کاملPhase stability of photoreceivers in intersatellite laser interferometers.
A photoreceiver (PR) is required for the opto-electrical conversion of signals in intersatellite laser interferometers. Noise sources that originate or couple in the PR reduce the system carrier-to-noise-density, which is often represented by its phase noise density. In this work, we analyze the common noise sources in a PR used for space-based interferometry. Additionally, we present the resul...
متن کاملDiode Laser Frequency Standard for Laser Interferometry
Diode lasers are becoming increasingly important in length metrology. We demonstrate construction of a simple single-frequency diode laser 632,8 nm, used as a frequency standard in the laser interferometers. We present two different systems applied for frequency stabilization of diode laser . For diode laser used as the secondary standard, the system stabilizes diode temperature, the frequency ...
متن کاملOptical Intersatellite Communication Links
The performance of direct and hetedyne detection optical intersatellite communication links are evaluated and compared. It is shown that the perfonnance of optical links is very sensitive to the pointing and tracking e m at the transmitter and receiver. In the presence of random pointing and tracking errors, optimal antenna gains exist that wiU minimize the required transmitter power. In additi...
