Abstract

Inter-satellite optical wireless communication (IsOWC) has drawn a lot of interest previously mainly because there is a rising demand for large-capacity, high-speed data transfer between satellites across multiple orbits. The present research provides an in-depth investigation of the most current developments in optical networks for satellite-to-satellite transmission. It focuses on how well links between geostationary orbit (GEO) and low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites at different distances work. The analysis accentuates the perks of optical communication over radio frequency (RF) communication, including less frequency coordination prerequisites, more secrecy, and larger data speeds. The problems associated with IsOWC systems are also covered in the section, including varying connection distances, air turbulence, and aiming errors. Numerous tools and techniques, including transceiver diversity, adaptive optics, and clever modulation schemes, have been put ahead to alleviate these issues. The paper further examines the latest developments in the domain of optical inter-satellite communication systems and the effective implantation of optical communication equipment aboard satellites deployed by space organizations like JAXA. The investigation results provide pertinent details on the condition of IsOWC technology now and its prospective uses in the next space systems, which will ultimately assist in creating high-capacity, secure, and more effective satellite communication networks.
