Both commercially available optical data links and their further development are described. The main elements and operation limiting factors of FSO systems have been identified. Additionally, analyses of FSO/RF hybrid systems application are included. The main aspects of LasBITer project related to such hybrid technology for security and defence applications are presented.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Analysis of Free-Space Optics Development}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/106321/PDF/10.1515-mms-2017-0060-paper%2007.pdf}, doi={10.1515/mms-2017-0060}, keywords={optical communications, open path laser communications, line of sight communications, free space optics}, }
