Implementation and validation of a CubeSat laser transmitter

Implementation and validation of a CubeSat laser transmitter

The paper presents implementation and validation results for a CubeSat-scale laser transmitter. The master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) design produces a 1550 nm, 200mW average power optical signal through the use of a directly modulated laser diode and a commercial fiber amplifier. The prototy...
