In the vast space of Low-Earth Orbit (LEO), every precise positioning, data transmission and space detection relies on a stable and reliable "optical core" drive. Our customized aerospace-grade fiber-coupled output semiconductor laser source for LEO satellites is manufactured in strict accordance with top-tier aerospace standards. It breaks through the constraints of extreme space environments, acts as a core power source for satellite optical communication, laser radar, space remote sensing and other missions, and builds a solid optical signal foundation for LEO constellation networking and space scientific exploration.
Our newly launched customized aerospace-grade fiber-coupled output semiconductor laser source (with PD feedback) is mainly applied as a beacon light source, serving as the "eye" and "beacon" for inter-satellite capture, laser alignment and optical axis calibration. Leveraging the company’s accumulated design and process experience, the product maintains excellent beam output quality and uniform spot distribution, and is specially optimized for low air pressure and anti-radiation performance (including optical fibers). With superior tolerance to extreme environmental changes and ultra-strong mechanical resistance, it realizes full-link anti-radiation capability, long service life and high reliability. It provides strong support for the stable, accurate and uninterrupted operation of space beacon systems and adds a new member to the company’s aerospace-grade laser product family.
The temperature difference in LEO can reach up to hundreds of degrees Celsius, and the vacuum and thermal cycling environments pose an ultimate test to the stability of light sources. This laser can operate stably for a long time in an ultra-wide temperature range of -40℃ to 85℃, perfectly adapting to the complex temperature scenarios inside and outside LEO satellites. Meanwhile, the shell adopts reinforced design with optimized material selection and processing technology, delivering excellent low air pressure resistance. It can withstand repeated impacts from multi-level thermal cycling and thermal vacuum environments, maintaining stable overall performance from launch and orbit insertion to on-orbit operation, and providing a solid guarantee for continuous beacon light output.
Severe vibration during satellite launch and mechanical disturbances after orbit insertion are rigorous challenges for light sources. Adopting aerospace-grade mechanical reinforcement design, this laser can withstand three-directional sinusoidal vibration (maximum displacement of 19mm, acceleration of 15g), random vibration (15.25grms) and 800g impact. It fully meets the full-cycle mechanical requirements of satellite launch, attitude adjustment and on-orbit operation. The product ensures high-precision fiber coupling and stable optical axis under extreme mechanical environments, avoiding beacon pointing deviation and optical signal interruption to achieve continuous and stable output.
LEO space is filled with high-energy particles, gamma rays and atomic oxygen, which easily cause performance degradation of traditional light sources due to radiation damage. Through optimized selection of optical components and structural materials, this product minimizes the impact of radiation on optical performance indicators. Adopting aerospace-grade anti-radiation processes, the external cabin optical fiber can resist 20Mrad (Si) Co-60 gamma rays, and the complete machine can withstand particle radiation of 2×10⁶rad (Si) and atomic oxygen erosion exceeding 2×10¹⁹(AO/cm²). Equipped with electrostatic protection and single-event protection functions, it realizes full-link anti-radiation protection from optical fiber to the whole device, completely eliminating optical signal interruption and power attenuation caused by space radiation.
Optimized exclusively for 700km low-Earth orbit, the external cabin optical fiber can withstand power transmission above 5W, with radiation-induced loss ≤ 0.2dB/2m. It achieves low-loss and high-stability optical signal transmission in the space vacuum environment, providing a high-quality and highly reliable optical benchmark for beacon capture, tracking and alignment.
Aerospace missions demand extreme service life and reliability of light sources. This laser source features an on-orbit service life of more than 5 years, with a 5-year storage reliability of ≥0.9776 and a cumulative working time of no less than 6,000 hours. Through rigorous aerospace-grade screening, aging and reliability verification, it maintains stable output during long-term on-orbit operation, providing solid and reliable optical power support for the long-term sustainable development of LEO satellite missions.
The newly launched 8xx nm medium-power fiber-coupled laser source has passed client-side environmental tests including low air pressure (1.3×10⁻³Pa), anti-radiation and thermal vacuum tests, fully meeting the application requirements of aerospace-grade laser sources for low-Earth orbit and effectively supporting the completion of aerospace missions.
From severe shocks during satellite launch to extreme temperature differences and strong radiation in space orbit, this LEO aerospace-grade fiber-coupled semiconductor laser source serves as an all-round performer for LEO space optical applications with comprehensive aerospace-grade performance. As the core of optical signal transmission and a key guarantee for the success of LEO satellite missions, it empowers China’s aerospace industry to make greater achievements in LEO laser link construction and space exploration.
