Solar energy conversion using erbium doped fiber pumping technique for feasibility space transmission study

The solar energy conversion via space transmission technique is investigated by using white light source in a length of fiber laser. Light is partially pumped by a pumping source along the erbium doped fiber length. The high frequency range is formed the up-link conversion by a modulator known as a LiNbO₃ crystal which is modulated by a high frequency generator, then the required energy can be transmitted then received by an earth station. Preliminary results have shown the feasibility of using such a scheme for solar energy conversion application.
