DWDM,
engineered
for orbit.
Terrestrial optical-network capacity, redesigned around the constraints of space. We are developing the multi-wavelength engine inside next-generation laser terminals.
Research stage: architecture and simulation. No flight hardware claimed.
Capacity is arithmetic.
Closing the link is engineering.
Multiple optical carriers can multiply aggregate data rate. They cannot repeal diffraction, receiver noise, pointing error or the power budget.
Read our engineering positionEvery microradian matters when the beam travels thousands of kilometers.
DSP, optical sources and thermal control must justify each delivered bit.
The engine must fit the terminal, test repeatably and survive qualification.
Engineering concept render. No manufactured SpaceWDM hardware.Build the engine.
Not the telescope.
Terminal manufacturers already solve tracking, pointing and spacecraft integration. Our proposed wedge is the wavelength-multiplexed optical subsystem they can evaluate against real requirements.
Discuss an OEM subsystemBefore hardware,
make the tradeoffs visible.
LinkLab is our open-to-inspection architecture screening model. It compares ideal capacity, aperture, pointing, link margin and assumption-driven cost and power.
Open LinkLab 02 Simulation only. Not a working optical transmitter or verified 10 Tb/s link.Engineering notes,
not hype.
Short positions on the decisions that will determine whether multi-terabit optical links are practical.
Capacity is not a link budget.
A 32-channel diagram can be correct even when the link is physically impossible.
Build the engine. Not the telescope.
Why a modular photonic subsystem could be a better first business than a complete terminal.
The first milestone is evidence.
Measured power, BER and sensitivity matter more than beautiful throughput claims.
Have a space-optical requirement worth solving?
We're looking for optical-terminal builders, systems engineers and research partners with a real link constraint. Start with the problem. We'll scope the experiment.
