... The marked extension of range provided by successful applications of femtosecond laser and LIDAR packages would be useful for improved navigation, mine detection, and optical communications. Optical communications Even without the range extension expected using ultra-fast lasers, optics can play a role in quietly off-loading high-rate data (e.g., bottom imagery, mine searches)
