This paper describes Fibertek’s progress toward developing high performance, compact, space laser communications terminals and lasers for commercial and government customers. Previous developments have addressed a variety of applications including deep space CubeSats, LEO, GEO and SmallSats. We are currently working on lunar and beyond optical com terminals. Fibertek has also developed high TRL space laser for space optical communications ranging from small CubeSat 0.5 to 3W up to 50 W WDM amplifiers supporting deep space PPM CCSDS modulations and WDM Tbps WDM space networks.
