| Abstract(in English) | The National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) have started the experimental demonstration of ground-to-satellite optical communications under the collaboration work for the practical use of optical feeder link. In our experiment, we conducted the first trial of optical communication experiment between Laser Utilizing Communication System (LUCAS) onboard the optical data relay satellite, which is a geostationary earth orbit satellite, and the optical ground station installed in the Okinawa Electromagnetic Technology Center of NICT. The optical ground station implements check-out equipment with 1 meter telescope. This paper will discuss received optical power, acquisition and tracking performance and bit error rate performance in the downlink of ground-to-satellite optical communication links. |
