FREE-SPACE OPTICAL COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY
Replaces the need for Adaptive Raytheon just broke the light barrier. Optics: Wavefront Sensor, Deformable Mirror, Feedback Raytheon’s latest Free-Space Optical Communication technology is rewriting the book on Electronics laser-driven, high-speed data transfer.
Receiver SWaP-C Comparison Free-Space Optical Communication technology is nothing new. Challenges to FSO capability Size reduced from 1,000 to 10 cc until now have been a challenge to overcome. Commercial-grade systems are expensive and Weight reduced from 1,000 to 10g bulky, and their streaming speeds aren’t very well-suited to today’s demand for lightning-fast Power reduced from W to 0 power performance. But Raytheon engineers have changed all that.
Cost reduced to approximately 90 Raytheon takes decades of cutting-edge optical experience to create the next- generation FSO. percent of adaptive optics systems On the ground or up in space, Raytheon’s breakthrough design allows for a system that’s 100 Seven orders of magnitude reduction times smaller, 100 times lighter and significantly faster than technology currently in use. SWaP–C Improvements Plus, it’s a fraction of the cost of the big commercial systems out there. All that, and it runs on just 10 percent of the power required. Passive demodulation No electromechanical systems With a range of up to 50 kilometers in the field and thousands of kilometers out into space, No adaptive optical systems Raytheon’s FSO technology stretches connections to new lengths. So why go through the Extremely lightweight and compact expense and labor of solid, fiber-optic infrastructure, or satellite payloads that are bigger and Flexible form factor (conformal) heavier than they need to be? Low cost and complexity The perfect solution is in the air and on the table now. Raytheon’s latest Open-Space Optical Communication technology improves size, speed, weight, power and cost factors to break Performance Improvements barriers. With the power of laser and a partner like Raytheon, imagine the possibilities.
