Method and means to operate a laser emitter system for optical free space communication

摘要

The laser transmitter system has an optical oscillator laser (2) and an optical solid state amplifier (6) that are coupled through a fibre optic conductor (4) or alternatively through free space. An optical beam output (8) is directed to a lens to produce a collimated beam (12) for further optical processing. The laser (2) can be of a pumped solid state laser diode type. A number of variations are possible.
