Optical Amplifiers in Space Communication Links

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

In terminals for free-space laser links, optical amplifiers boost transmit powers into the Watt range. As pre-amplifiers, they help obtaining sensitivities of a few ten photons/bit. Concepts and requirements for such applications are discussed.
