Abstract

High-bit-rate fiber-optic transmitter and receiver components were developed for intra-satellite data links, which will benefit from reduced EMI and savings in mass and volume. The ceramic-based fiber-optic packages enable robustness for harsh environments. Two kinds of components were introduced: “SpaceFibre” transceivers (>;6 Gbps) and parallel optic transceivers with fiber ribbon cables (4+4 x 10 Gbps), both based on 850-nm VCSEL sources and multimode fibers. The transceivers are expected suitable also for other harsh environment applications.
