Space

The increase of video broadcasting and worldwide Internet demand has important consequences on space technologies. Today satellite manufacturers must consider high-speed communications and active switching functions in the design of their satellite. This, in turn, leads to emerging needs for on-board optical interconnects.
The space environment is one of the most severe for optical components and short distance optical interconnects. It gathers the following requirements : operation under non-pressurised and highly-radiative environments, severe mechanical requirements such as vibrations and shocks, and important lifetime requirements.
In addition to its other products, D-Lightsys provides specific space-application-oriented products such as hermetic sealed parallel optical interconnect modules with one of the world lowest power consumption.
