LEO SPACE PHOTONICS
RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT
European programmes, connected by one mission.
Successive R&D programmes have advanced our electronic, photonic and packaged optical transceiver technologies. Our programmes connect circuit design to assembled optical engines and system-level testing. They bring together semiconductor foundries, photonics, packaging and space-system partners across Europe.
PROJECTS
Selected programmes
SPACELINK
Horizon europe
European high-reliability VCSEL-based and photonic integrated transceivers for intra-satellite interconnects and free-space laser communication links. The project has received the STEP Seal.
MiniBOT
european defence fund
Miniaturized board-mountable optical transceiver technology for high-data-rate Defence Satellite Communications. The project delivered the design of SiGe BiCMOS electronics, VCSEL opto-electronics, meta-surface optics elements and a hi-rel OTRx module.
ORIONAS
Horizon 2020
Electronic-photonic transceiver and amplifier technologies for compact optical inter-satellite links. The project developed integrated coherent optics and miniaturized optical fiber amplifiers for lasercom terminals
SIPHODIAS
horizon 2020
Photonics-enabled satellite payloads and optical interconnect technologies. The project delivered digital and microwave photonic interfaces at TRL 7 through module-level and system-level functional and environmental testing
