Title:	Advanced optical technologies enable space laser communications.
Authors:	JUMEL, SIMON¹
Source:	Laser Focus World. Jan/Feb2026, Vol. 62 Issue 1, p20-23. 4p.
Subjects:	Laser communication systems, Optical amplifiers, Optical devices, Broadband communication systems
Abstract:	The article explains how free-space optical communications are rapidly advancing, with projects like the SOLiS demonstrator showing that laser-based satellite links can deliver ultra-secure, high-throughput data transmission far beyond the limits of radio-frequency (RF) systems. Topics include Exail's role in space-grade optical components, advantages of FSO over RF for multi-orbit networks, and the use of fiber amplifiers and rugged optical assemblies for reliable space and ground links.
