Photonics in Space: Designing Radiation-Tolerant Digital Optical Links
This paper investigates radiation-tolerant digital optical links for space applications, focusing on the use of higher launch power and forward error correction to achieve increased link margins. Bit-error ratio performance is assessed, highlighting improved resilience against radiation, with considerations for latency and power consumption impacts.
