The History Of Space Laser Communications
SPIE Proceedings, 1988I wasn't sure how to start this talk. I could start by saying I gave a paper on Space Laser Communications in Sept. 1962 at a space conference over a quarter century ago, or I could start by noting that this conference on lasers and laser systems is far larger than the whole conference at which my paper in 1962 was the only one on laser communications.

Adaptive optics and ground-to-space laser communications
Applied Optics, 1996The relationships between laser communication system parameters and adaptive optics system parameters are addressed. Improvement in optical signal propagation between space-based receivers and ground-based transmitters is possible with adaptive optics systems that compensate for a few degrees of freedom.

Free Space Laser Communication Terminals
MILCOM 1985 - IEEE Military Communications Conference, 1985Free space laser communication terminals capable of acquiring and communicating over a 100 mile range at a data rate of up to 19.2 Kb/s, were developed to demonstrate the feasibility of a point-to-point semiconductor-laser communication system, and to aid in the design of future systems.

Laser Communications in Space - Applications and Systems
LEOS 2007 - IEEE Lasers and Electro-Optics Society Annual Meeting Conference Proceedings, 2007Laser communication terminals are now on the verge of becoming standard equipment for data relay applications in space. The data return of future deep-space missions can also be significantly improved with optical communications, using technology that is readily available.

Applications Of Semiconductor Lasers In Space Communications
Optical Engineering, 1983Techniques for combining individual semiconductor lasers for use as a laser communication transmitter are discussed. The geometries, aging characteristics, and lifetimes of semiconductor lasers are reviewed, and the resulting effects on the laser communications transmitter are assessed.

Free-space laser communication model
SPIE Proceedings, 2004Laser communication has an enormous potential to provide a secure, jam-resistant, low detection probability and high-bandwidth means of communmication to support multimedia, imagery, video, mapping and other command and control functions in battlefield environments. In this paper, we discuss the development of a complete numerical model for free-space

Free space satellite laser communication
2000 Digest of the LEOS Summer Topical Meetings. Electronic-Enhanced Optics. Optical Sensing in Semiconductor Manufacturing. Electro-Optics in Space. Broadband Optical Networks (Cat. No.00TH8497), 2002I present applications of satellite laser communications. Free space optical communication between satellites networked together can make possible high speed communication between different places on the Earth. The advantages of an optical communication system instead of a microwave communication system in free space are: 1) smaller size and weight, 2)
