 Introduction
• Laser communication is one of the key
area in wireless Communications. Due to
its low noise ratio makes its one of the
well suited communication medium for
exchange of information.
• Laser communications systems are
wireless connection through the
atmosphere. Which is focused on
decreasing the noise ratio in optical
communication system. Laser
communications systems work similarly to
fiber optic links, except the beam is
transmitted through free space.

 Working of system
 Laser Communication System mainly comprise of 2 sections such as
Transmitter section and Receiver section.
 Transmitter section is used to transmit the data and sound signals, which
comprised by microphone, Conditioning ckt, analog to digital converter and
laser diode to generate medium for transmission of signals.
 Transmitter converts the signal into laser beam and transmit it in a straight line.
 The receiver section is used to receive the laser beam, using photo transmitter,
which incorporated with the data or sound signals from the transmitter
comprised of Conditioning, MCR and Digital to Analog converter to extract the
data signals from the received laser beam and given as a input to the speaker.
 What is the Transmitter?

The transmitter involves:

Signal processing electronics (analog/digital)
Laser modulator
Laser (visible, near visible wavelengths)
 What is the Receiver?

 The receiver involves:

 Telescope (referred to as ‘antenna’)
 Signal processor
 Detector
-PIN diodes
-Avalanche Photo Diodes (APD)
-Single or multiple detectors
 Often both ends will be equipped
with a receiver and transmitter
 Why Laser Communication?

Current high speed communications technology:

Radio
Fiber Optics

 Applications
 Straight communication with satellite
from the earth.

 Tactical Line Of Sight Optical Network

(TLSON) uses high frequency laser to
transmit data.

 One to many communication.

 Disadvantages!!
Laser link can be affected by-
 Atmospheric absorption
 Fog, Rain, Pollution (smoke)
 Physical obstructions
 Solar radiations
 These can be reduced by using Laser tuning, multiple number of transmitters,
filters etc.
 Future Scope

It is more secure and provides high bandwidth

requirements. The low power consumption is
also a great advantage.
It can be the mostly used technique
worldwide in near future.
