Calculation of power-generating parameters of laser radiators for satellite-to-satellite optical communication links and earth-to-satellite-to-earth links

摘要

Results are given of calculations of required power-generating parameters of laser radiators for the apparatus of satellite-to-satellite communication links versus the satellite-to-satellite distance and the antenna diameter and also the same for the apparatus of the ground-based experiment Earth - Satellite Angle Reflector - Earth. For the satellite4osatellite communication links. the power-generating parameters were calculated for the typical diameters of reduced-weight antennae of 2040cm and for satellite-to-satellite distances up to 80,000 km. The calculations of power-generating parameters, conducted for the ground-based experiment. revealed the possibility to decrease the transmitter power when using an astronomic telescope with a large aperture diameter (1,2 m) as a receiving antenna.
