1. A laser-based system for communication, the system comprising:
an acquisition module configured to acquire and characterize a plurality of laser beams; and
a tracking module configured to track the plurality of acquired laser beams, the tracking module comprising:
a beaconing feedback and beam divergence mechanism configured to control a beam of the plurality of acquired laser beams;
an adaptive learning unit configured to implement an adaptive learning detection algorithm to identify and track a unique optical signature from at least one of the plurality of acquired laser beams; and
a pointing module configured to point at least one laser beam towards a target based on the plurality of acquired laser beams;
wherein the beaconing feedback and beam divergence mechanism is further configured to execute the following steps, in no particular order, to detect a beam:
receive a command to connect to a node;
check if a transmitted power is higher than a threshold value;
calculate a position vector relative to the node;
calculate a spatial uncertainty function based on the position vector; and
adjust a beam divergence in relation to the spatial uncertainty.
