An experimental one-way 8-Mb/s 10.6-μm laser communication system that utilizes optical FM and heterodyne detection has been engineered to allow continuous operation through a variety of weather conditions. Performance over paths of 3 mi and 20 mi is described. Nearly 2000 h of data have been accumulated, including one continuous run of 1320 h with less than 5 percent downtime due to weather.
