Site dedicated to promoting the Optical Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence. Here you will find a different approach to The Search For Extraterrestrial Intelligence. The Optical Search For Extraterrestrial Intelligence, otherwise known as Optical SETI (OSETI), seeks to detect pulsed and continuous wave laser beacons signals in the visible and infrared spectrums.
This paper justifies the logic of searching for ETI in the visible spectrum as oposed to radio.
A search for intense laser pulses, transmitted deliberately in our direction by another civilization.
Two optical SETI programs at UC Berkeley are described: one for continual signals and one for pulsed signals.
