Integrated photonics for space communication and sensing
Abstract Integrated photonics takes advantages of size, weight, and power consumption, and can be widely used in space communication and sensing. This paper reviews the typical applications of integrated photonics for space communication and sensing. Firstly, a brief introduction of space communication and sensing is given, as well as integrated photonics and significance of integrated photonics in space. Secondly, integrated photonics for satellite-based digital laser communication and microwave photonics-based satellite communication are introduced. Then, sensing chips for ranging and imaging, navigation, and material testing are presented. The performance and reliability faced by photonic chips in the space environment are summarized at the end.
