Laser communication is a technology that uses laser beams to transmit data over long distances with high speed and bandwidth, offering a promising alternative to traditional radio frequency communication. It is particularly useful in space communications and terrestrial applications where line-of-sight is achievable and interference is minimal.

Line-of-sight is when you can see something without anything blocking your view, like looking at a toy across the room. It's important because it helps us understand how we see things and how signals, like TV or radio, travel from one place to another.

Interference is a phenomenon where two or more waves superpose to form a resultant wave of greater, lower, or the same amplitude. It is a fundamental concept in physics that explains patterns of constructive and destructive interference, crucial in fields like optics and quantum mechanics.
