Abstract
Conventional free-space optical receivers carry out the beam tracking and symbol detection functions in two separate units inside the receiver. This leads to a more complex receiver architecture that is also more inefficient in terms of energy. In this chapter, a detector array receiver is proposed that integrates the beam tracking and symbol detection functions in one single unit. This not only simplifies the receiver architecture but also leads to a more energy efficient system as compared to a conventional receiver. Among other applications, such energy efficiency will help meet the low transmission energy constraints of an optically connected CubeSat network in low earth orbit.
