The photonic communication is an important and hotpots frontier field.In recent years,the photonic communication technology can be widely used in deep space and inter satellite photonic communication,free space and non-line-of-sight photonic communication and underwater photonic communication.Firstly,interest in high-data-rate free-space optical(FSO) laser communication systems has grown significantly in recent years because of the advantages offered by FSO systems over radio frequency(RF) systems.Secondly,Distributed sensor networks are emerging from research laboratories to field studies in applications such as monitoring soil quality,seismic events,stresses in structures,medical parameters,and contaminant transport,and in military applications.In additional,underwater photonic communication can provide the high data rate required to investigate and monitor underwater observation,subsea monitoring systems and facilities.In a word,because of the unique advantage of the laser and photon detector,the emerging interesting photonic communication technology can be deep investigated and widely applied in the deep space,atmosphere and underwater communication.
