Abstract

This paper examines the use of a low power GaAs laser as the beacon source for establishing a high data rate laser communication link. A link signal-to-noise parametric analysis is presented, as well as identification and analysis of noise sources. The GaAs signal characteristics (power and lifetime) and system optical considerations are also discussed.
