Abstract
A communication method including emitting laser pulses as a signal using one or more transmitters at an atmospheric point. Plasma is generated at the atmospheric point to radiate omnidirectional light. The plasma from the atmospheric point is detected using one or more receivers. The one or more receivers have a direct line-of-sight to the atmospheric point to receive the signal from the one or more transmitters via the omnidirectional light generated by the plasma. The signal is demodulated from the transmitted plasma at each receiver, thereby transmitting information encoded on the signal.
