  Sounds too good to be true. But there is a major problem related to this ‘concept’ - it does not receive!!

    Laser Com Announces New HF Antenna System


    Reported by Larry K3TFU


    Laser Com, Inc. of Titusville, Florida recently announced their development of an HF antenna system, that is
    based on their proprietary laser communications system. 


    Dr. Benjamin Dover, Laser Com’s chief engineer,
    cited their research into laser-based space communications as providing the “happy accident” that led to the
    discovery of the laser based, HF antenna system. 


    Dr. Dover said that an accidental connection of the wrong
    cable led to the discovery. A cable that had been carrying HF signals was inadvertently connected to the
    modulation input of the Laser transmitter that that Ben was testing. “Imagine our surprise,” said Dr. Dover,
    “when we noticed that HF radio frequencies were being radiated all along the laser beam. This is something we
    never expected. The possibilities are endless.”


    Laser Com plans to market the HF laser antenna not
    only as a commercial product, but also as a low cost
    amateur radio antenna. Dr. Dover set up the
    prototype as a demonstration of the product’s
    simplicity.


     The secret to the HF laser antenna is in
    the base unit’s modulation transformer that directly
    modulates the Plesseo-Dyminium laser crystal. The
    user simply places the laser box on the ground and
    adjusts the laser beam straight up into the air. As the
    laser beam rises into the sky, the HF signal travels
    up the laser beam and is radiated all along the
    length of the optical beam. 


    The laser beam shines nearly a mile into the atmosphere. However, due to path losses along the beam, the actual HF radiation is only transmitted by the first few hundred feet of
    the laser’s beam. The result is an omni-directional
    vertical HF antenna that is several hundred feet
    high. 


    Acting like a co-linear antenna array, the over
    all antenna gain is approximately 10 to 15 dB,
    depending on the actual HF frequency band.


    Dr. Dover said, “We are really excited about this
    product. There are no antenna restrictions on an
    invisible light beam, no lightning risks, and no
    damage from wind storms. The only down side is
    signal attenuation due to heavy fog, which can
    attenuate the HF signal by as much as 6 dB.
    Otherwise, this is as near to a perfect antenna as you
    can hope for.”


    Laser Com plans to introduce the amateur version
    of this antenna at the Dayton Hamvention this May.
