We theoretically and experimentally demonstrate a 100 Mb/s Optical Wireless Communication (OWC) system for 3U (30x30x30 centimeter) intra-CubeSat. The system has low power consumption and is made of low cost commercially available off-the-shelf (COTS) components such as VCSEL, APD, Si-PD and common ball lenses. Since the system is for the 3U CubeSat, 40 cm distance between optical transceiver was targeted. We successfully designed the system and tested with 4 mm and 5 mm ball lenses to optimize our system for the future activities.

Abstract
We theoretically and experimentally demonstrate a 100 Mb/s Optical Wireless Communication (OWC) system for 3U (30x30x30 centimeter) intra-CubeSat. The system has low power consumption and is made of low cost commercially available off-the-shelf (COTS) components such as VCSEL, APD, Si-PD and common ball lenses. Since the system is for the 3U CubeSat, 40 cm distance between optical transceiver was targeted. We successfully designed the system and tested with 4 mm and 5 mm ball lenses to optimize our system for the future activities.File in questo prodotto:
