Lasers have been considered for space communications since their realization in 1960. However, it was soon recognized that, although the laser had potential for the transfer of data at extremely high rates, specific advancements were needed in component performance and systems engineering, particularly for space-qualified hardware. Advances in system architecture, data formatting, and component technology over the past three decades have made laser communications in space not only a viable but also a attractive approach to intersa ....etc

The communication needs of Earth observation satellites is steadily increasing. Within a few
years, the data rate of such satellites will exceed 1 Gbps, the angular resolution of sensors will be
less than 1 μrad, and the memory size of onboard data recorders will be beyond 1 Tbytes.
Compared to radio frequency links, optical communications in space offer various advantages
such as smaller and lighter equipment, higher data rates, limited risk of interference with other
communications systems, and the effective use of freque ....etc

Introduction of Laser Communications



Diode Lasers

Laser diodes emit an elliptical beam with astigmatism
Better units will include corrective lenses for astigmatism and to make the dot appear round
Neither of these problems are inherently bad for DX purposes but correcting them also improves divergence, a big win (more gain).

Modulation

AM
Easy with gas lasers, hard with diodes
PWM (Pulse Width Modulation)
Used by Ramsey in their kit
PFM (Pulsed FM)
Potentially t ....etc

Laser communications offer a viable alternative to RF communications for inter satellite links and other applications where high-performance links are a necessity. High data rate, small antenna size, narrow beam divergence, and a narrow field of view are characteristics of laser communications that offer a number of potential advantages for system design.

Abstract:
Laser communication links in space are attractive alternatives to present-day microwave links. This tutorial
describes the basic concept and the functions of an optical terminal on board a spacecraft. It points out the differences
between free-space optical links on one hand and glass fiber systems and microwave directional links on the other
hand. The requirements on data transmitters and receivers as well as on optical antennas and pointing, acquisition and
tracking mechanisms are discussed. Typical application scenari ....etc
