Abstract: The aim of this paper is to design an Inter Satellite Optical Wireless Communication System (IsOWC) and find the relationship between various performance parameters. The development of OWC system are beneficial for communication in terms of providing higher bandwidth, small size, light weight, low cost. The IsOWC system can provide better performance as compare to presently used microwave satellite system. This paper give complete analysis of Intersatellite link (ISL) by varying various performance parameters such as BER, Transmitted power, Link distance etc. In this paper IsOWC system are modified and simulation results shows a good enhanced value of Quality factor and Bit error rate. This simulation is done by using a Optisystem (14.0) software.
