Abstract

This chapter discusses current advanced research relevant to “all-optical” communications and connectivity and future directions to make the concept of laser satellite constellation for achieving very-high-data-rate, high-communication-capacity communication systems successful. This chapter presents various technology developments, research challenges, and advances in FSO communication system as well as discusses research challenges to be addressed and solved to overcome the limitations of existing systems and emerging new technologies. The recent applications related to FSO wireless communication systems also include space (aerial)-based and underwater platforms, 5G/6G networks, smart cars, robots, optical links for aiding health-related services, and artificial intelligence (AI)-based machine-to-machine (M2M) devices for adaptive optics (AO).
