The various functional modules of the terminal are integrated together through spatial optical paths, optical fibers and electrical signal lines.
[0056] The multi-wavelength light source module includes two lasers with different wavelengths, 1540.16nm and 1540.56nm respectively. Each laser has high stability and low noise characteristics. The temperature of the two lasers is controlled by the controller in a closed loop to ensure the stability of the output wavelength of the multi-wavelength module.
[0057] The wavelength division multiplexer module includes a combiner and a fiber amplifier. The wavelength division multiplexer module combines two seed light sources obtained by modulating the electro-optical modulators with wavelengths of 1540.16nm and 1540.56nm into an optical signal through a combiner and sends it to the fiber amplifier. The optical signal is amplified to 30dBm by the ytterbium-doped fiber amplifier. The working bandwidth of the ytterbium-doped fiber amplifier covers 1535nm~1565nm, and the entire optical power output fluctuation range is less than 1%. The power consumption of this part is less than 10W.
[0058] Precision pointing and tracking module, the whole precision pointing and tracking module is composed of a low-power SOC processing architecture, using a CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Image Sensor) detector, model CMV4000, to detect the 808nm wavelength beacon light emitted from the ground, with a pixel size of 5.5μm, a pixel size of 2048×2048, a response wavelength of 400nm-1000nm, and a field of view that can cover the capture uncertainty area; piezoelectric ceramic galvanometer is used for tracking and precision pointing control, and its main advantages are small size, low power consumption and high precision. FSM is driven by four displacement amplification piezoelectric drivers, which are composed of a piezoelectric ceramic stack and an elastic shell. The piezoelectric galvanometer in the present invention has an execution range of 17.5mrad and a closed-loop resolution of 1μrad. A resistance strain gauge sensor is integrated inside, and its control and drive are completed by the precision tracking system. The power consumption of the module is less than 5W.
[0059] The integrated signal processing module is mainly implemented by a high-speed data processing board based on Xilinx, including 2-way high-speed baseband modulation drive circuits and a V7-690T FPGA chip to complete the baseband information encoding and modulation functions of the downlink data. After processing the received satellite platform service data through channel coding, phase mapping, physical layer framing, shaping filtering and orthogonal modulation, the 2-way baseband signal is modulated by 2-way electro-optical modulators and sent to the wavelength division multiplexer module. At the same time, the uplink baseband signal of the satellite laser ground station connected to the high-sensitivity optical receiving module is demodulated. At the same time, the communication terminal initialization, capture and tracking system status monitoring and satellite platform interface communication functions are completed. The power consumption of this module is less than 30W.
[0060] The high-sensitivity optical receiving module uses a low-noise APD (Avalanche Photo Diode) detector to detect laser signals. Its response is 2500kV / W@808nm. The detector outputs a current signal, which is converted into a voltage signal using a TIA amplifier and amplified at the same time. After being limited by the filter noise bandwidth, it is output to the integrated signal processing module to complete the laser signal reception and detection. The power consumption of the entire module is less than 2W.
[0061] The optical system module consists of Figure 2As shown, it consists of an optical antenna, an M2 reflector, a transceiver color splitter, a transmitting collimator, a filter, a beam splitter, a focusing group 1, and a focusing group 2. The optical system module completes beam compression through an optical antenna with a compression and expansion ratio of 5 times, realizes the spatial beam transmission and reception separation of the downlink transmission wavelength and the uplink signal light through a color splitter (1550 / 808), suppresses stray light through a narrowband filter (808nm±5nm), completes the folding of the light path through an M2 reflector, and the beam splitter is 9:1, which is used to complete the energy distribution of the APD and the CMOS camera. Two focusing lens groups complete the system energy convergence, and the transmitting collimator collimates the optical fiber signal output by the optical fiber amplifier into a spatial light signal, which is transmitted to the laser ground station.

The wavelength division multiplexer module combines multiple seed light sources through an electro-optical modulator into one optical signal through a combiner, and sends it to the optical fiber amplifier, and amplifies the optical signal through an ytterbium-doped optical fiber amplifier. The working bandwidth of the ytterbium-doped optical fiber amplifier covers the design wavelength, and the combined optical signal can be amplified to the design size according to demand. The wavelength division multiplexer module completes the aggregation and amplification of multiple wavelength beams; The precision pointing and tracking module uses a fast-reflection mirror and a capture and tracking detector to complete the capture and tracking of the communication terminal and the ground station, and uses the capture and tracking control module to realize the detector image recognition and the control of the fast-reflection mirror, ultimately achieving stable signal transmission; The high-sensitivity optical receiving module detects the spatial laser signal and converts the amplitude-modulated laser signal into an electrical signal; The optical system module gathers the large-aperture spatial beam signal into a small-aperture spatial beam signal, and collimates the optical fiber signal output by the optical fiber amplifier into spatial signal light, while completing the separation of spatial beam transmission and reception, and separating the signal light from the capture and tracking beam.
