High Speed 2 × 10 Gbps WDM Enabled Inter-Satellite Optical Wireless Communication Link

Abstract

Abstract Transmission of data between satellites has been revolutionized via the use of Inter-satellite optical wireless communication (Is-OWC). In this work, we evaluate the validation of high speed and long reach Is-OWC system suing return-zero encoding and wavelength division multiplexing. Two channels, each carrying 10 Gbps of information transmits data on Is-OWC link of 2200 Km length. The performance of the proposed system is investigates in terms of bit-error rate, Q-factor and eye patterns.
