The NCU OCT is a compact 2U-scale telescope module designed for high-performance free-space optical communication in CubeSats. It employs a Keplerian afocal configuration with dichroic mirrors to multiplex multiple near-infrared channels for simultaneous transmission and receive-path feedback. This modular design provides essential pointing and beam collimation capabilities within a highly constrained volume.
