In the present work, I study the combined effect of selection of different operating wavelengths and detector types along with the pointing errors at the transmitter and receiver side on the performance of an inter-satellite free-space optical link. The link performance has been optimized by measuring and analyzing the bit error rate and quality-factor of received signal under different scenarios. Performance of the inter-satellite link has also been investigated considering different modulation formats and data rates for LEO and MEO distances.}, type={Article}, title={Analysis of inter-satellite free-space optical link performance considering different system parameters}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/115231/PDF/oprlre_2019_27_1_10_13.pdf}, keywords={Inter satellite link (ISL), BER, Q-factor, Free space optics (FSO), Pointing errors}, }
