In near space optical communication, the laser beam energy affects communication link distance directly, also laser beam quality affects the laser energy density, modulation efficiency, bit error rate (BER) of communication and other parameters. In this paper we have presented an experiment system of space optical communication, of which the transmitting power is 1w, modulation rate is 500 Mbps and link distance is 8 to 10 kilometers. Then the effects of optical fiber collimator, electro-optic modulator, optical antenna and other units on beam power loss, beam diameter, divergence angle and other parameters are analyzed. Last we put forward the way of increasing the laser transmitting distance and the optimization measure of system key unit.
