Sophisticated laser system concepts are increasingly being used to address high bandwidth free space communications needs and for remote sensing applications. We are coming into the age of Free Space Optics, where laser systems are seen as a viable competitor to RF systems for many applications. However, system requirements continue to demand increased performance from the various components used to implement these systems. Both application areas require high laser modulation rates and methods of mitigating atmospheric effects. Laser based sensing and free space communications both employ sophisticated detection schemes. Both mine historic microwave analog technologies to develop new optical approaches, in spite of very different device technologies in the optical region. Laser, modulator, beam steering, and detection technologies are rapidly advancing system enablers. This meeting reports the latest results in the development of this technology.

The conference chairs invite you to share your latest work with colleagues and network with leaders in the field including distinguished invited speakers and the program committee.
