Public award description
FIBERTEK PROPOSES TO DEVELOP AND DEMONSTRATE A SPACEFLIGHT PROTOTYPE OF A WIDEBAND, HIGH POWER 50W, 1.5-UM FIBER LASER TRANSMITTER, SUPPORTING HIGH DATA RATE WAVELENGTH-DIVISIONMULTIPLEXED (WDM) OPERATION FOR SPACE OPTICAL COMMUNICATION LINKS. THE FIBER LASER TRANSMITTER WILL SUPPORT UP TO 8X WDM CHANNELS WITH HIGH POWER CONVERSION EFFICIENCY. THE PROPOSED 10X SCALING OF THE AVERAGE AND PEAK POWER PERFORMANCE FOR SUCH A SPACE-QUALIFIABLE WDM 1.5-UM TRANSMITTER ENABLES>100X DATA-RATE SCALING OF CURRENT SPACE LASER COMMUNICATION LINKS. IN PHASE 1 OF THE PROGRAM ALL PROPOSED PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES WERE EXCEEDED OR ACHIEVED. THE SUCCESSFUL OUTCOME OF PHASE II WILL BE TO DEVELOP A PROTOTYPE, SPACE-QUALIFIABLE, HIGH-EFFICIENCY, HIGH-POWER (50W), 1.5-UM WDM SPACE LASERCOM TRANSMITTER. THIS ADVANCES THE TECHNOLOGY READINESS LEVEL (TRL) FROM 3 TO 5.
