Description
Summary:The possibility to provide a high-speed laser communication to the mobile terminals on aircrafts, ships, trains and cars is studied and small and light-weight laser terminal is developed for a high-altitude stratospheric platform test flight. The laser terminal onboard is consist of an optical antenna, two-axes gimbals and optical receiver and is capable of analogue signal transmission compatible to digital TV signal at UHF band. A preliminary result of the test flight up to a 4-km altitude is also reported.
