Introduction

Free-space optical communication provides high-capacity data links for defence and security. This conference will provide a forum for all professionals involved with both short and long range free-space optical techniques for communications and sensing. Subjects covered include research and technology advances in components and sub systems, requirements and analysis of present and future systems, and reviews of government and commercial programmes. One area of growing interest is the use of free-space optical techniques for highly asymmetric, high bandwidth links to small mobile platforms. 

The conference will provide an overview useful to laser specialists as well as communication and optical system engineers, scientists, and managers.
