The term, ``power beaming'', creates an image of a beam of focused electromagnetic radiation, possessing good transmission characteristics and sufficient intensity to effect the delivery of meaningful amounts of power to a designated receiver. High power, free-electron lasers are well suited for long range transmission of their laser beam to designated space receivers because their selective near infrared wave length can be adjusted to match the absorption characteristics of the receiver's photo voltaic cells. The typical system envisioned is comprised of a 200 kw free electron laser, possessing an over-all efficiency of 10%, and an optical beam director system equipped with appropriate tracking and atmospheric compensation capabilities. Such an installation located at four to five appropriate locations around the earth could provide remarkable benefits to the projected power demands for transfer and maneuvering into orbit and for operating future fleets of satellites.
