Fast Steering Mirrors (FSMs) precisely direct laser beams between satellites, ensuring accurate alignment and stable data transmission. Equipped with nanometer-resolution position sensors, FSMs provide precise control over mirror position, even in dynamic environments, minimizing signal loss and maximizing data throughput. Amphenol CIT is at the forefront of advancing OISL technology by providing state-of-the-art sensor solutions for FSMs. Our EDA500 sensor system offers high-speed and ultra-precise position sensing capabilities, ensuring the performance and reliability of FSMs in LEO satellite constellations.
We also offer ruggedized fiber optic cable assemblies designed to relay Gigabit data in optical format from optical transceiver boxes to FSMs in satellites. These fiber optic assemblies can operate from - 65 °C to 260 °C with extended flexibility, minimal bend sensitivity, low smoke toxicity, high flame resistance, and extreme shock and vibration resistance.
The transmission of high-definition imaging data acquired by earth observation LEO satellites and high-speed Gigabit Internet traffic received from ground stations requires seamless, low-loss connectivity between digital signal processing and optical conversion boxes. We address this need with our compact Octax®-Solo 10Gbps ultra-high-speed interconnect solution. This system features high performance, low-loss twisted shielded pair cables and a standalone single-port connector capable of supporting up to 10 Gbps. With excellent impedance matching resulting in low return loss and connectivity in high-density, space-constrained, rugged LEO and CubeSat systems. innovative inserts virtually eliminating near-end crosstalk, it is the ideal choice for Gigabit Ethernet.
