Dr. Ambedkar Institute of Technology: Technical Seminar Presentation ON "

The document summarizes optical inter-satellite communication technology. It discusses how optical links between satellites (optical inter-satellite links or OISLs) allow for high-speed data transfer and decreased reliance on earth stations. OISLs use lasers and have advantages over radio frequency links like higher data rates and bandwidth. The document outlines the key phases to establishing an OISL (acquisition, tracking, communication) and describes the basic components of an optical transmitter and receiver used in OISLs.

INTRODUCTION
 The transport of the broadband technology via the satellite
communications systems was the first step for arising the satellite
networks.
 To achieve the user requirements such as the military applications and
the commercial services, a high number of satellite orbits around the
Earth as more satellites are being launched . So, intersatellite links
(ISLs) are playing a very important role for transfer data and
information between satellites.
 Therefore, the earth stations number will be decreased and two earth
stations are needed to establish the link between them via
intersatellite links where ISLs decrease the number of hops (uplinks
and downlinks).
 But with the fast development of satellite communications which require a huge bit
rate , it is very important to move towards the optical
ISLs .
 As OPTICAL ISL known by their advantages such as: high data rate, a large
bandwidth, long communication distance, small antenna diameter and lowest
transmission power with a low cost, more reliability and information security. Also, it
is easy for multiplexing, demultiplexing, switching, and routing flexibility of the
network applications.

 OPTICAL INTERSATELLITE LINKS (OISL)

 OISL become leading in telecommunications and data transfer


networks, which are widely used to transfer data and information with a
high level of information security due to the narrow beamwidth
(typically 5 μradians).
 OISL can define two types of optical systems.
 The most useful is the LASER (Light Amplification by
 Stimulated Emission of Radiation) whose advantages are: high capacity,
long communication distance and lowest transmitted power and the
second one is LED (Light Emitting Diodes). Many researches and
studies are done now to use LED in ISL for short distance and to
transport low data rate between neighbouring satellite

PHASES IN ESTABLISHING AN OISL :
There are three basics phases to establish an OISL:

1. Acquisition: The beam scans the region of space where


the receiver is expected to be located, this is need a wide
beam to reduce the acquisition time, which requires a high
power optical transmitter, typical time for this phase is
about 10 s .

2. Tracking: it comes when the receiver receives the signal,


then a tracking phase and transmits in the direction of the
received signal. On receiving the return signal from the
receiver , the transmitter also enters the tracking
phase, then, the beams are reduced to their nominal width,
and it must allow the movements of the platform and
relative movements of the two satellites.
 3. Communications: establishment of the link and
 exchanging information between the two satellites.
OPTICAL TRANSMITTER

 The optical transmitter is to generate the optical signal, and imposes


the information-bearing signal, then launches the modulated signal
into the direction of the receiver.
 The semiconductor light sources are commonly used in state-of-the-
art optical communication systems [18]. The light generation process
occurs in certain semiconductor materials due to the recombination
of electrons and holes in p–n junctions, under direct biasing.
 This means that there are three basic processes in semiconductor
materials, as illustrated in by which the light interacts with matter:
absorption,spontaneous emission, and stimulated emission.
OPTICAL RECEIVER

 The purpose of the optical receiver is to convert the optical signal into
electrical signal and to recover the transmitted data where three
different stages are identified: front-end stage, the linear channel
stage, and data recovery stage.
 The front-end stage is composed of a photodetector and a
preamplifier.
 The photodiode is an integral part of both front-end stage schemes.
The principal role of the photodiode is to absorb the photons from
incoming optical signals and convert them back to the electrical
signals through the process opposite to the one taking place in optical
transmitter. The common photodiodes are p–n photodiode, p–i–n

 What is a network?
 It takes 2 “nodes” to have a “link”.It takes minimum 3 “nodes” to
have a “network”

 Then what is optical satellite network?


 If the nodes are satellites and the links are optical we have an
“Optical Satellite Network”
To form an Optical Satellite Network…….

 We need:
 1. A constellation of satellites ( or “nodes”)
 2. Optical Inter-satellite Links
 3. Satellite to Ground to Satellite Links can be either RF links (access
to end-users and TELCO operator’s Ground Stations)
 or Optical Links (only for TELCO operator’s Ground Stations)

 2 main physical topologies


 • Ring
 • Mesh

 Mesh
