Description
Summary:Inter-satellite optical wireless communication (IsOWC) is frequently utilized for fast data transmission between various far away satellites in free space. Thousands of users are connected via broad-area applications that use network topologies with many frequencies per optical fiber and a range of transmission rates and capacities. Multiple frequencies being transmitted simultaneously on a fiber having a nanometer range (1300–1600) that is a powerful feature of an optical communications link. When coupled with optical amplifiers, the WDM idea creates communication lines that provide rapid user-to-user communication throughout national borders. A well-known drawback of free space optics (FSO) or Inter-Satellite Link (ISL) is degradation in optical signal power, in addition to its appealing advantages. The traditional system is improved in order to solve this issue. Using the optisystem-15 simulator, we analyzed the IsOWC link's capability for fast data transfer based on subjective factors including received power, Q-factor and BER. 16-channels multiplexed with modulation technique transmitters to the system are explained by the projected model. The link has been used at various data rates, distances, and external Match-Zehnder modulation. Applied a series hybrid optical amplifier of erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) and a laser amplifier that exists prior to and after the OWC line with the given parameters. Different OWC ranges with a loop control of 3 loops that made total link length 1600 km, and searching different data rates to show their impact on system efficiency, which showed a great enhancement in results that are crucial to the current inter-satellite OWC link.
