Abstract
This paper discusses beyond-the-horizon propagation of laser beams by means of scattering from clouds and hazes as applied to communication systems. Expressions for the information capacity of such a communication link are derived from consideration of the scattering properties of such clouds and hazes and from other system parameters. A more detailed investigation of the properties and potentialities of such a communication system seems warranted.Keywords
