what would a 5.8ghz laser look like. i am just wondering because it would be so much nicer to do a radio link with a laser instead of a 2m antenna
Existing masers require a molecular beam in a vacuum chamber. Operating a vacuum pump is more cumbersome than having an antenna. Again, one would need to identify the gain material, and what conditions are required to achieve gain, before one can claim that it would be a nice easy device to operate.ctech4285 said:what would a 5.8ghz laser look like.i am just wondering because it would be so much nicer to do a radio link with a laser instead of a 2m antennaOne would need to know what the gain material is, and other details, before that can be answered.

5.8GHz laser technology uses beams of light to transmit radio signals through the air, similar to how fiber optics transmit data through cables. The laser beam is modulated with the radio signal, allowing for efficient and high-speed transmission over long distances.
Some of the main benefits of using 5.8GHz laser technology for radio links include higher bandwidth capacity, lower interference from other devices, and longer transmission distances. It also offers a more secure and reliable option compared to traditional radio frequency links.
Yes, 5.8GHz laser technology can be used in most weather conditions, including rain, fog, and snow. However, heavy rain or fog can cause attenuation of the laser beam, reducing the signal strength and potentially affecting the link's performance. In extreme weather conditions, alternative communication methods may need to be used.
Compared to other wireless communication methods, 5.8GHz laser technology offers higher bandwidth and longer transmission distances. It also has lower interference from other devices, making it a more reliable option for critical communication needs. However, it may have limitations in terms of line-of-sight requirements and weather conditions.
5.8GHz laser technology can be beneficial for various industries, including telecommunications, military and defense, transportation, and remote sensing. It can be used for high-speed data transmission, remote monitoring and control, and secure communication in these industries. It can also be useful in disaster recovery and emergency response situations.
