Optical transceivers employ fiber optic technology to convert electrical signals into light signals. Doing so can transmit the information in the optical fiber, traveling at very high speeds and long distances. A transceiver includes two parts: a transmitter, and a receiver...
Optical transceiver is currently being used in communications satellites. On September 8, 2022, the first commercial satellite using optical interconnects was launched, called Eutelsat KONNECT VHTS, which hosts Thales Alenia Space DTP5G OBP, a processor with digital optical...
Reaching the TRL 9 scale has encouraged designers to use this technology as a solution in their systems and thus improve them to manufacture satellites with enhanced characteristics that support the requirements of today’s world.
