Facebook X LinkedIn Email
BOTHELL, Wash., Sept. 20, 2010 — The US Army awarded Bethesda, Md.-based Lockheed Martin a $14 million contract to design, develop, build and test a high-power fiber laser-based system suitable for military applications. The Army Space and Missile Defense Command contract includes options for the next six years. If exercised, the options would increase the contract's value to $59 million. The program, called the Robust Electric Laser Initiative (RELI), features a fiber laser architecture capable of producing the 100 kilowatts or more of high quality power needed for a broad range of military "speed-of-light"...Read full article

    optical fiber
    Optical fiber is a thin, flexible, transparent strand or filament made of glass or plastic used for transmitting light signals over long distances with minimal loss of signal quality. It serves as a medium for conveying information in the form of light pulses, typically in the realm of telecommunications, networking, and data transmission. The core of an optical fiber is the central region through which light travels. It is surrounded by a cladding layer that has a lower refractive index than...
