An expected migration from traditional radiofrequency satellite communications to laser-based optical links could become a key new market for G&H. This image shows space hardware from Japan's 'JAXA' agency supporting a 1.8 Gb/s inter-satellite link using a laser wavelength of 1.5 µm. G&H provided its power-efficient optical amplifier technology to help connect geosynchronous and low-Earth orbit satellites with the high-speed data link. Photo: JAXA. |
