First successful laser was constructed by T.H. Maiman in 1960 using Ruby Laser.
A few other lasers are helium-neon laser, carbon dioxide laser, dye laser, junction laser, etc.

What Is Laser Communication? Laser communications systems are
wireless connections through the atmosphere. They work similarly to fiber optic links, except the fact that, in lasers, beam is transmitted through free space.

Why not Fiber Optics?Not always possible to lay fiber lines
Physically / Economically not practicalEmergencies
LC being incorporated into fiber optic networks when fiber is not practical.

Why not RF?Bandwidth
for Laser Communication (LC) is 100 times greater than for RF.
Powerin LC is directed at target, so much less
transmission power required. Also the power loss is less.
Size / WeightLC antenna is much smaller than RF.
SecurityDue to low divergence of laser beam, LC is more
secure than RF.16

Demerits Of Laser CommunicationRequire direct line-of-sight.Operational distance is also a variable
if there are intervening materials such as rain, smoke, fog, glass etc.
