Wide-band laser communications in space.
Candidate wideband (1 Gbit/sec) satellite laser communications systems are compared with respect to projected component technology and launch cost. It appears that the carbon dioxide (10.6-micron) system offers a SNR advantage over the Nd:YAG (1.06-micron) or doubled Nd:YAG (0.53-micron) systems for comparable satellite burden. The launch costs for the carbon dioxide and doubled Nd:YAG systems can be similar, but the latter is very sensitive to the projected weight of a large lightweight photon-bucket receiving aperture. The most critical technology problem for the carbon dioxide system is that of Doppler compensation.
