2. Satellite laser ranging - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_laser_ranging

   Satellite laser ranging (SLR) is a method to measure the distance to satellites in a geocentric orbit. It consists of an astronomical observatory equipped with a laser that sends ultrashort pulses of light. The pulses hit the satellite and bounce back to be caught by the station, which measure the round trip time with the speed of light formula ...

3. Laser communication in space - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_communication_in_space

   Assuming available laser technology, and considering the divergence of the interferometric signals, the range for satellite-to-satellite communications has been estimated to be approximately 2,000 km (1,200 mi). [83] These estimates are applicable to an array of satellites orbiting the Earth.

4. Long-range optical wireless communication - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-range_optical...

   Long-range optical wireless communication or free-space optical communication (FSO) is an optical communication technology that uses light propagating in free space to wirelessly transmit data for telecommunications or computer networking over long distances. "Free space" means air, outer space, vacuum, or something similar.

   VLC can be possibly used in a wide range of applications including wireless local area networks, wireless personal area networks and vehicular networks, among others. [1] On the other hand, terrestrial point-to-point OWC systems, also known as the free space optical (FSO) systems, [ 2 ] operate at the near IR frequencies (750–1600 nm).

7. Optical mesh network - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_mesh_network

   Switching, multiplexing, and grooming of traffic in an OEO device. Optical mesh networks refer to transport networks that are built directly off the mesh-like fiber infrastructure deployed in metropolitan, regional, national, or international (e.g., trans-oceanic) areas by deploying optical transport equipment that is capable of switching traffic (at the wavelength or sub-wavelength level ...
