The requirements for the design, fabrication, performance, and testing of a 10.6 micron optical heterodyne receiver subsystem for use in a laser communication system are presented. The receiver subsystem, as a part of the laser communication experiment operates in the ATS 6 satellite and in a transportable ground station establishing two-way laser communications between the spacecraft and the transportable ground station. The conditions under which environmental tests are conducted are reported. (Author)
