BKtel Space-Grade 1.5 µm Fiber Amplifiers deliver high-reliability optical amplification optimized for free-space optical communication (FSOC) in LEO/GEO satellite environments, inter-satellite links, and ground station terminals. Built with radiation-hardened components, non-outgassing materials, and specialized assembly processes, these amplifiers support both satellite uplink boosters and low-noise receiver preamps.

Key differentiators vs. standard Telcordia-grade units:

  • Space-hardened design (radiation-resistant fibers to counter RIA, non-silicon glues, rugged connectors, space-grade pump diodes).
  • Proven TRL levels: GOAS (1W) at TRL 9 (flight-proven); CGOA2S (2W) at TRL 7; HPOAS (5W) under qualification.
  • Low SWaP, compact form factors, digital control (RS-232), and customization for mission-specific needs.

Applications:

  • Intersatellite and satellite-to-ground free-space communication.
  • Satellite uplink high-power boosters (ground stations).
  • Low-noise preamplification for weak signal reception, pointing, acquisition, and tracking (PAT) down to -60 dBm.
  • Dual preamp + booster configurations in single enclosures.

Benefits:

  • High output power (up to 5W) with excellent stability (<2%).
  • Low noise figure for preserving weak signals.
  • Reliability in harsh space conditions with optional environmental qualification (shock, vibe, TVAC) via partners.
  • Short lead times on custom variants.

Key Features – Expanded:

  • Space-Hardened Reliability: Radiation-resistant fibers, non-outgassing materials, specialized space-grade components and assembly.
  • High Output Power: Up to 5W (37 dBm) for HPOAS boosters; scalable 1–2W options (GOAS / CGOA2S).
  • Ultra-Low Noise Preamp: GOA2S with input range down to -60 dBm, NF 4.5 dB, fast transient suppression.
  • Proven Heritage: TRL 9 (GOAS) and TRL 7 (CGOA2S) units; flight-qualified performance.
  • Compact & Efficient: Low power consumption (5–50W), small footprints (e.g., 90×70×15 mm for GOAS), 24V or 5V supply.
  • Flexible Configurations: Collimator or FC/APC outputs, random/linear polarization, digital RS-232 control, custom wavelengths/filters (e.g., 1553 nm SDA).
  • Customization Standard: Rapid tailoring for specific orbital environments, power levels, and integration needs.
