Proof of Concept: Leo - Leo, Leo - Earth o Lasers with required power, efficiency and beam quality are not available => o Application of state of the art laser technology: - diode lasers 30% efficiency, poor beam quality, high detection Q.E. - solid state lasers 10% efficiency, good beam quality, poor detection Q. E. - application of phase conjugated laser systems for high pointing accuracy o Application of adaptive/active optics to achieve better beam quality and pointing
