An Optical Future

Space communications today mainly uses RF technology. But optical (i.e., laser) communications promises a bright future because of the huge increase in bandwidth. As a leading innovator, Coherent is already working on the first expected application: satellite-to-satellite links in LEO constellations. This involves not just the special transceivers and other sub-systems to enable advanced (coherent) protocols, but also draws on our experience in sensing and tracking to automate system alignments to meet line-of-sight requirements.
