Abstract
Power transmission by high power lasers is one of the most attractive methods for energy supply system in space. This paper describes the results of solar-pumped solid state lasers developed by the author's group, and some concepts of laser power beaming proposed in USA and Japan. Finally, we introduce the proposal on the space experiment of laser power beaming at Japanese Experiment Module (JEM) on the space station.
