Abstract:
A system and method involve using a first laser to generate a laser-induced plasma filament within an optically-transparent medium, using a second laser to generate a communication signal, and using a signal combiner positioned within the path of both the first laser and the second laser to direct the communication signal through the laser-induced plasma filament to a receiver located within the optically-transparent medium.
