Abstract

Multiple laser communication is the key point of integrated space-ground network system, and it is the necessary prerequisite of realizing the network communication link between multiple satellites. In this paper, current situation and the development status of multiple laser communication are introduced, then optical principles and methods of multiple laser communication are discussed, and advantages and disadvantages are compared and analyzed with different multiple space laser communication system. The systems were classified according to different principles, including the simple principle type, exchange points type, RF and laser combined type, field expanding type and large field communication type. Then we look into the future of multiple laser communication systems, and the result shows that the paraboloid of revolution type has great potential in the future's laser communication space network ,for it’s large communication range and high energy efficiency. It can be used to communicate between the aircraft platform, airship platforms and satellite platforms. Which laid the foundation for the future development of the laser communication space network.
