Abstract

The technology advances made in the development of an engineering feasibility model of a Nd:YAG laser communication system for space test are discussed and details of evaulations presented. The model includes the baseplate, optomechanical structure, 19-cm (7.5-in) diameter telescope and prototype space qualifiable components. The main technological achievements are in the areas of laser and its operation, the modulator and the digital format, and the integration of the various optical components into one optomechanical structure. These as well as other technology advances will be discussed and the system performance capabilities indicated.
