Scientific paper

The combination of high scalable output power and very narrow laser linewidth of Nd:host laser-based spaceborne optical communications systems allows the implementation of very sensitive coherent optical receivers. Attention is presently given to the results of preliminary experiments designed to evaluate the feasibility of both homodyne and heterodyne optical receivers. A heterodyne optical reciver achieved shot-noise-limited operation and approached the theoretical limit to within 4-5 dB. A far-field experiment employing two balloons at stratospheric altitutes is discussed.
