Optical Detection of Lasers with Near-term Technology at Interstellar Distances
© 2018. The American Astronomical Society.. This paper examines the ability to produce a laser beam detectable to a cursory survey (SNR 0.1% with a 1 m receive telescope) by an extraterrestrial intelligence using proven or near-term technology (megawatt-class lasers, telescopes tens of meters in siz...
