Abstract(in English) In inter-satellite link with a lot of low-earth-orbit(LOE)satellites, each satellite will communicate with one or more satellites. In such cases a satellite needs to have multiple optical antennas which are required small and light. In a communication link between satellites, a wide drive range with high speed is required for an optical antenna because an antenna drive angle is large due to high relative angular rate. To meet these requirements, we propose an optical antenna of a coude-path type. This paper describes the mechanism and the experimental results of the optical antenna we have developed.
