Scientific paper

Critical technology and system issues for space optical heterodyne communication systems using GaAlAs lasers are discussed. Heterodyne systems offers 10-20 dB better receiver sensitivities and thus smaller telescope sizes for the same laser power than direct detection systems. Based on present state-of-the-art technologies, it is concluded that an efficient optical intersatellite link can be realized with a few years of development.
