Select wavelength, gain function and polarization together with the mission optical budget. A common enclosure can combine booster and preamplifier functions; mechanical and electrical interfaces are mission specific.
Configuration options
| Optical band | Possible functions | Output-power limit |
|---|---|---|
| 1060 nm band | Booster or low-noise amplification | Mission-specific; confirm |
| 1550 nm band | Booster or low-noise amplification | Mission-specific; confirm |
Technical details
- Orbit classes for design review
- LEO, MEO or GEO requirements
- Polarization
- Polarization-maintaining or non-PM configurations
- Control electronics
- Radiation-tolerant electronics can be considered; grade and test evidence to confirm
Integration and delivery
- Housing
- Custom mission footprint, mass and thermal interface
- Interface conformance
- Agree the required optical-communications interface standard and revision
Conditions and configuration notes
- Mission acceptance requires a configuration-specific qualification plan and evidence for the delivered hardware. No blanket flight, radiation or standards qualification is asserted by this draft.
- Review thermal-vacuum, vibration, shock, radiation and electromagnetic requirements with the mission interfaces.
Applications to discuss
- Optical inter-satellite links
- Satellite optical terminals
