Introduction Laser communication is one of the key area in wireless Communications. Due to its low noise ratio makes its one of the well suited communication medium for exchange of information. Laser communications systems are wireless connection through the atmosphere. Which is focused on decreasing the noise ratio in optical communication system. Laser communications systems work similarly to fiber optic links, except the beam is transmitted through free space. ECE, GECR (2023-2024) 4

Working System ECE, GECR (2023-2024) 7
Working System Laser Communication System mainly comprise of 2 sections such as Transmitter section and Receiver section. Transmitter section is used to transmit the data and sound signals, which comprised by microphone, Conditioning ckt, analog to digital converter and laser diode to generate medium for transmission of signals. Transmitter converts the signal into laser beam and transmit it in a straight line. The receiver section is used to receive the laser beam, using photo transmitter, which incorporated with the data or sound signals from the transmitter comprised of conditioning, MCR and Digital to Analog converter to extract the data signals from the received laser beam and given as a input to the speaker. ECE, GECR (2023-2024) 8
Processing Of Electrical Signal To Light Microphone input is conditioned so that full 8 bit data range of ADC is utilized. The MCU passes the signal to the UART. On the receiver side, the signal is read by a photo transistor. The UART reads these signals and generates a byte. This byte is sent to DAC through a port and applied to the speaker.

LASER TRANSMITTER The Transmitter involves a signal processing circuit, and a laser. A laser diode is used to create the laser signal. Laser Diodes include Photodiodes for feedback to insure consistent output. ECE, GECR (2023-2024) 10
