Optical WDM Space Communications: the next frontier*

Open Access Open Access

Abstract

This paper will describe the technology and architecture of very high-speed optical space links that will be used in the future as a key building block for global extent satellite-based data networks. With WDM multiplexing of >10Gbps channels, the cost of these space systems can be very competitive with terrestrial fiber systems.
