Laser Inter-Satellite Links Technology 1st Edition

Laser Inter-Satellite Links Technology, 1st Edition by Jianjun Zhang and Jing Li is an authoritative, forward-looking guide that brings the physics, engineering and system-level thinking of optical space communications into clear focus. Whether you’re an engineer designing spaceborne optical terminals, a researcher advancing inter-satellite networking, or a program manager planning global constellations, this book unlocks the next generation of high-capacity, low-latency satellite links.

Start here to understand the fundamentals and practicalities of laser inter-satellite links (LISL): optical modulation, pointing–acquisition–tracking (PAT), link budgets, atmospheric and space propagation effects, hardware architectures, and network topologies spanning LEO, MEO and GEO. The text balances rigorous theory with real-world design examples and performance analysis, making complex topics accessible without sacrificing technical depth.

Readers will appreciate the clear explanations of system trade-offs, scalability for large constellations, and considerations for integration with RF and hybrid networks. Insightful diagrams and step-by-step derivations help translate concepts into implementable solutions for satellite operators, telecom engineers, and academic labs across North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region.

If you’re planning resilient, high-throughput space networks or researching optical interconnects for global communications, this edition is an essential reference.
