Mid-infrared Transmitter and Receiver for Free Space Optical SatCom Abstract - In this talk, we review efforts of the Xu research group at McMaster to implement a C-band to mid-infrared (3.4-3.5 micron) transmitter and receiver pair. This is accomplished via difference frequency generation and sum frequency generation for the transmitter and receiver modules, respectively. We will go over professional packaging progress, project outcomes, and discuss the significant improvement in conversion efficiency over the reported literature thanks to the intracavity design. Additionally, a link budget model for the C-band and mid-infrared are compared to evaluate pros and cons of potentially adopting mid-infrared for satellite communications, as well as any adjacent applications for the modules. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Émetteur et récepteur infrarouge moyen pour SatCom optique en espace libre Résumé - Dans cet exposé, nous passons en revue les efforts du groupe de recherche Xu à McMaster pour mettre en œuvre une paire émetteur et récepteur en bande C vers l'infrarouge moyen (3,4-3,5 microns). Ceci est accompli via la génération de fréquence différentielle et la génération de fréquence somme pour les modules émetteur et récepteur, respectivement. Nous passerons en revue les progrès de l'emballage professionnel, les résultats du projet et discuterons de l'amélioration significative de l'efficacité de conversion par rapport à la littérature rapportée grâce à la conception intracavité. De plus, un modèle de bilan de liaison pour la bande C et l'infrarouge moyen est comparé pour évaluer les avantages et les inconvénients de l'adoption potentielle de l'infrarouge moyen pour les communications par satellite, ainsi que de toute application adjacente pour les modules.
