Abstract :
The prototype atmospheric optical communication system has been developed, and various field tests have been carried out in Tokyo and Niigata. The system with a laser diode can transmit a 4-MHz color television signal or 120 telephone channels. This paper gives an outline description of system design based on field test results.
