Free-space optical (FSO) communication systems

A multi-aperture setup designed to improve satellite link resilience by compensating for atmospheric disturbances.

Live demonstration:

Experience our FSO system through a compact 50 cm model simulating a 1,000 km satellite link, with bidirectional, real-time data transmission at 10 Gbit/s. This demonstration reveals the system’s potential for stable, high-performance communication in aerospace applications.

Highlights:

  • Simulated long-distance link: The compact model offers an insightful demonstration of the challenges and solutions for long-distance communication.
  • High data throughput: With real-time transmission at 10 Gbit/s, the system meets the speed requirements of modern communication.
  • Atmospheric disturbance compensation: The unique multi-aperture design maintains stable data links even under atmospheric influences.
  • Adaptable and scalable: License-free optical spectrum and DWDM technology enable flexible data transmission, which integrates seamlessly into existing networks and user-specific architectures.
