Free-space optical communication technology has always been touted as a solution for high data-rate communication needs where RF and Microwave systems reach their capacity limits. In many respects, optical communication technology meets the challenge but has its own limitations. RF, Microwave and millimeter-wave researchers have advanced the state-of-the-art and achieved the types of data-rates that until this decade were available only from laser communications (lasercom). The aim of this paper is a tutorial for the lasercom community to become better aware of the competing technologies that are either available or are at the verge of becoming commercially available.
