Investigation and analysis of inter-satellite- optical wireless communication system based on dense-wavelength-division multiple-access

Optical wireless communication offers high data rates applications due to license-free and wide-bandwidth access techniques and cost-effective implementations. Recently, the world introduced to a revolutionary technology called Inter-satellite optical communication that aims to establish transmission among satellites. However, transmitting pointing errors is the main issue in creating an inter-satellite link, which leads turbulences in the connection. This article aims to study the implementation of an optical wireless communication system in satellite communication. In this work, we investigate and analysis of data rate of 16-channel in inter-satellite optical wireless communication systems (Is-OWC) based on dense-wavelength-division multiple-access (DWDM) with standard downlink channel spacing DWDM (ITU grid specification). Computer simulations are carried using Opti-system over different wavelengths between two satellites transmit 160 Gbps over 7000 km. This evaluation performance is based on eye diagrams, BER, optical spectrum and Q-Factor with minimum input power under turbulences of transmitter pointing error angl
