Abstract:
IN A RECENT PAPER, [1] it was explained how present technology is sufficient to detect likely laser signals from extraterrestrial sources. It was further explained that the likely nature of modulation of those signals and the laser output energy requirements were of the same order as those of which we are presently capable. It was also discussed why the exact wave· length of the source need not be known and the reasons why laser transmission might be used. In this paper, we review briefly the above and provide a more detailed discussion of the optical receiver to detect extraterrestrial signals.
