Intended CQnfigmatiQns Laser power • Nd:YAG 10W (lOOmJ, 100Hz Q-SWitched) is being developed for space applications • Nd: YAG > 2kW CW or free running is available for material processing (but with poor beam quality) —> Nd:YAG 100W CW or free running, diffraction limited is a very realistic goal Transmission range • Between 2 Low Earth Orbit satellites (LEO to earth transmission seems to be less mature...) • Small and equal size transmit and receive diameter (—> no active or adaptive optics) —0 20cm optics and 10 to 20km range (target tracking accuracy should be 2prd)
