Aculight Gets $2M to Enhance Fiber Laser Performance

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
BOTHELL, Wash., July 12, 2006 -- Laser technology developer Aculight Corp. has secured four new contracts totaling more than $2 million to enhance the capabilities of its Picasso line of erbium-ytterbium fiber lasers and 1-µm ytterbium fiber lasers for applications ranging from undersea communications to three-dimensional laser radar (LADAR). Under a $70,000 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I award, Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command has contracted Aculight to develop a compact blue/green fiber laser for high-speed undersea communications. Fiber lasers are desirable for this application because they...Read full article

    light
    Electromagnetic radiation detectable by the eye, ranging in wavelength from about 400 to 750 nm. In photonic applications light can be considered to cover the nonvisible portion of the spectrum which includes the ultraviolet and the infrared.
    transmission
    In optics, the conduction of radiant energy through a medium. Often denotes the percentage of energy passing through an element or system relative to the amount that entered. See transmission efficiency.
