A laser communication terminal , comprising: - a telescope , having at least one pupil (P) and a focal plane (FP); - at least one light delivery system , arranged for delivering light signals (T) to be transmitted by the terminal when used to another laser communication terminal, called opposite terminal , so that the transmitted light signals propagate through the telescope and outside the terminal along a transmission direction while originating from a source area which is located at a first location (L1) in the focal plane (FP), or resulting from a virtual source area located at said first location in the focal plane; and - a light detection section , arranged for collecting received light signals (R) from a light entrance area which is located at a second location (L2) in the focal plane (FP), the second location being such that the received light signals are focused by the telescope onto the light entrance area after propagation from the opposite terminal along a reception direction, wherein the first location (L1) and the second location (L2) are apart from each other within the focal plane (FP), so that the source area or virtual source area and the light entrance area are disjoint, and wherein said transmission direction and reception direction being parallel outside the terminal, characterized in that the terminal further comprises a tilt arrangement at the pupil (P) of the telescope arranged for dividing said pupil into first and second parts, such that the transmission direction of the terminal is conjugated with the first location (L1) in the focal plane (FP) by the telescope through the first part of the pupil, and the reception direction of the terminal is conjugated with the second location (L2) in the focal plane also by the telescope but through the second part of the pupil. - a telescope , having at least one pupil (P) and a focal plane (FP); - at least one light delivery system , arranged for delivering light signals (T) to be transmitted by the terminal when used to another laser communication terminal, called opposite terminal , so that the transmitted light signals propagate through the telescope and outside the terminal along a transmission direction while originating from a source area which is located at a first location (L1) in the focal plane (FP), or resulting from a virtual source area located at said first location in the focal plane; and - a light detection section , arranged for collecting received light signals (R) from a light entrance area which is located at a second location (L2) in the focal plane (FP), the second location being such that the received light signals are focused by the telescope onto the light entrance area after propagation from the opposite terminal along a reception direction, wherein the first location (L1) and the second location (L2) are apart from each other within the focal plane (FP), so that the source area or virtual source area and the light entrance area are disjoint, and wherein said transmission direction and reception direction being parallel outside the terminal, characterized in that the terminal further comprises a tilt arrangement at the pupil (P) of the telescope arranged for dividing said pupil into first and second parts, such that the transmission direction of the terminal is conjugated with the first location (L1) in the focal plane (FP) by the telescope through the first part of the pupil, and the reception direction of the terminal is conjugated with the second location (L2) in the focal plane also by the telescope but through the second part of the pupil. <EOS>
