Problems and prospects of laser communication development

Development of information technology entails a constant increase in information traffic and requires a constant increase in the capacity of communication lines, the demand for high-speed data transmission technologies is growing. The purpose of the work is a generalized analysis of available data on trends in the development of laser communication, identification of relevant information about possible problems in this field of research and ways to solve them, and identification of tasks for subsequent research. The article reveals the main advantages and problematic issues of laser communication systems, and identifies areas for future research. Conclusions are drawn on the possibility of using atmospheric laser communication lines, and ways to solve some problems are proposed. The results obtained make it possible to use this experience for future research in the field of laser communication development.
