Laser Communication System

Laser communication systems transmit information between two locations using laser beams through the atmosphere. They work by using laser diodes to create laser signals that are transmitted via laser beams and received by laser communication terminals. Laser communication provides higher data rates and more secure communication compared to radio frequency technology due to its focused laser beams and potential for quantum cryptography.

Laser Communication system

Presented by archana kushwaha

Laser

communications systems are wireless connections through the atmosphere. Use Laser Beams to transmit information between two locations Communication over long distances, e.g. between planets Laser Communication Terminals (LCTs) transmit a laser beam and are capable of receiving laser beams

Introduction

How does it Work


Signal Transmitt er Laser Receiver Signal

High level design of lcs

A one-way Laser communication system

Laser diode
Laser

diode is used to create laser signal. Laser diode is a semi conductor device that produces coherent radiation in the visible or infrared spectrum. Laser diode is the major carrier in this mode of communication.

Laser Diode

Why we use LC not RF


Due

to high bandwidth Less power required Small size/weight More secure

Higher data rates

Advantages of Laser Communication Technology

Compared to RF technology LC provides much higher data rates Higher data rates are essential as more and more data is moved between diff. locations High security regarding interception A focused laser beam is hard to intercept without notice Path to Quantum Cryptography

Advantages of LCS
Less frequency restrictions

RF spectrum is crowed and heavily used


Smaller aperture dimensions and thus

reduced size and mass


Less weight and power per bit
Low cost

communication

APPLICATIONS
At

airports for communication across the runways Defense and sensitive areas Provide communication b/w satellite Use weak signal modes for cloud scatter Transmit voice for miles lineof-sight
I

Conclusions
It

established across the world can detect enemy ships & missile and at the same time disabling them Two-way LC in space has become a goal for NASA
