3-D simulation research for off-axis Cassegrain optical antenna and coupling systems

Cassegrain antenna has excellent transceiver characteristics, it is widely used in inter-satellite optical communication. The coupling system is also an important component of the whole system. Most of the researches are only based on the optical antenna, but coupling efficiency is also an important parameter that affecting the performance of the optical system. Therefore, the whole optical system including the coupling system and its off-axis performance are studied in this paper.
