About Laser Space Communications
Product Description Laser space communications is a hot topic among electrical engineers working for the government and in the defense industry, and this groundbreaking resource is the first to offer professionals a thorough, practical treatment of the subject. The book focuses on the feasibility of laser space communications between satellites, satellites and airborne platforms, and satellites and ground based stations to achieve worldwide connectivity. It covers all the critical topics that engineers working in the field need to understand such as weather avoidance, 5th Generation Internet (5-GENIN), and noise photons. This hands-on volume presents simplified, yet highly accurate, engineering expressions of complex mathematics that save practitioners valuable time and effort when working on their challenging projects. Review The book is an excellent reference for systems engineers interested in space optical communications. It provides the needed technical and operational insights to develop and analyze a space based optical communications architecture, estimate its performance and consider alternatives. The author also addresses the potential shortcomings of a laser communications system by suggesting a hybrid approach that includes an RF component. The book also includes some future suggested communications architectures that might be useful to the reader. In summary, I recommend the book to anyone who's interested in understanding optical space based communications. --Dr. George Nacouzi , of the RAND Corporation About the Author David G.
