Abstract(in English) Recently, the amount of the data measured by the satellites becomes increase because the recent satellites have been higher performances. Therefore, the faster communication method is demanded. The solution is to use optical communication systems that have been studied in the past. When communication systems are used Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifiers (EDFAs) are required. It is required to couple laser light into a single mode fiber. Free-space laser communications systems require the precise tracking control because of very narrow laser beams. It is rather difficult to couple the laser beam into optical fibers owing to atmospheric turbulence in ground-to-satellite laser propagation paths. We developed a prototype of Fast Steering Mirrors (FSMs) which can operate at the high frequencies under the atmospheric turbulence. We will experimentally verify the tracking performance of FSMs by using ground-to-OICETS laser communication links.
