What Is Laser Communication?What Is Laser Communication?
Laser communications systems are Laser communications systems are wireless connections through the wireless connections through the atmosphere. They work similarly to atmosphere. They work similarly to fiber optic links, except the fact that, fiber optic links, except the fact that, in lasers, beam is transmitted through in lasers, beam is transmitted through free space. free space.
