Title
An overview of the KODEN experiment between the OICETS satellite and the optical ground station in NICT
Abstract
Summary  The KODEN is a first in-orbit laser communication demonstration between a low earth orbit satellite called OICETS/Kirari and an optical ground station at the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) in Koganei, Tokyo. Optical links could always be established even under atmospheric turbulence when partly clear skies were predominant in March, May, and September, 2006. The uplink and downlink bit error ratios were measured to be 10−7–10−3. This achievement is a milestone for future high-data-rate satellite communications.
