Alter Technology is actively advancing optical communication technologies, particularly for space applications. Our Photonic department has participated in a project about optical transceiver in Space applications, funded by the European Space Agency. The goal is to develop space-grade optical transceiver modules for intra-satellite communications, addressing the growing demand for high-bandwidth data transfer in space applications. These transceivers are designed to handle data rates of 28 to 56 Gb/s per channel, with configurations supporting multiple channels.
We also participated in the EU-funded SIPHODIAS project, which focused on developing VCSEL-based optical interconnects for satellite onboard processors, key to enabling faster, more efficient data handling in next-generation satellites.
