摘要 |
The apparatus includes an amplifying fiber (10) for guiding and amplifying a light wave (W1) which carries data to be transmitted, and which is then directed at a party (54) involved in a call by means of a steerable antenna (6). The invention applies, in particular, to data transmission between two satellites, and enables a longer-wavelength broader (and hence more easily steered) beam of higher power to be transmitted. The amplifying fiber may be in the transmitter, the receiver or both. <IMAGE> |
