A Review on Inter-Satellite Optical Wireless Communication

Abstract

Inter-satellite optical wireless Communication has been emerged as a revolutionary technology in the field of communication. Since its induction in early 60's, Is-OWC has revolutionized the communication industry with high sapped data transmission as well as high end security. In this paper, study about various aspects of Is-OWC as well as its advantages and applications. Also various modulation formats and their impacts in enhancing capacity of the system are discussed.

High Speed RGB-Based Duobinary-Encoded Visible Light Communication System Under the Impact of Turbulences

“…Optics in a wireless fashion (also known as optical wireless communication) garnered the attention of researchers in early 2010 and have been widely deployed for communication. Key works of optics in wireless communication are divided primarily into three sections including Inter-satellite Optical Wireless Communication [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] and Free space Optics (FSO) [5,[13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. Free Space optics have been widely deployed in providing high speed and secure communication where a wired system is a costly [25][26][27][28].…”

Integration of an LED/SPAD Optical Wireless Transceiver with CubeSat On-board Systems

“…Hence, OISL is an ideal choice for nano-and picosatellites, in particular, where low SWaP equipment is essential. Laser transmitters (Tx's) with a very narrow beam divergence and high gain are well studied in the context of intersatellite communications [2]. However, most laser-based communication systems have a SWaP footprint that is challenging for small satellites, i.e., <10 kg.…”
