Abstract:
Described herein is a ground based subsystem for inclusion in an optical gateway and for use in transmitting an optical feeder uplink beam to a satellite. The subsystem can include a wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) multiplexer configured to receive optical data signals from optical network(s) external to the ground based optical gateway, and configured to combine the optical data signals into a wavelength division multiplexed optical signal. The subsystem can also include an optical amplifier to amplify the wavelength division multiplexed optical signal, and transmitter optics to receive the amplified wavelength division multiplexed optical signal and transmit an optical feeder uplink beam to the satellite in dependence thereon. In certain embodiments, the ground based optical gateway does not perform any modulation or demodulation of the optical data signals received from the optical network(s) external to the ground based optical gateway before they are provided to the WDM multiplexer.

Claim (Index 18):
The method of  claim 11 , further comprising:\n emitting a plurality of laser generated optical signals each having a different peak wavelength that is within a specified optical wavelength range; and electro-optically modulating each of the laser generated optical signals with one of a plurality of different data modulated RF carrier signals, each of which has been modulated to carry data for at least one of a plurality of RF service downlink beams, to thereby produce the plurality of optical data signals that are multiplexed to produce the wavelength division multiplexed optical signal; wherein the multiplexing includes multiplexing the plurality of optical data signals, produced as a result of the electro-optically modulating, with the optical signals received from the one or more optical networks that are external to the satellite communication system to thereby produce into the wavelength division multiplexed optical signal.
