The photonic technology is a viable and enabling technology for long-term insertion into spacecraft and satellite communications, signal distribution, phased array, and sensor applications. The technology payoff potentials include high performance, small size, low mass, and low power. Additional benefits include high isolation, low loss/dispersion, wide bandwidth, high efficiency, and robust design. Optical sampling and signal processing of RF signals ranging from 100 MHz to 40 GHz is an enhanced technology alternative to conventional electronic processing. Photonic technology can become more competive, designable, reliable, and cost-effective by focussing on application oriented research rather than unique one-of-a-kind component development. System hardware development and flight experiments are needed to demonstrate performance advantages of photonic technology applied to space communications applications.
