Modulight lasers
for defense and security
Modulight offers a broad range
of laser devices designed to empower high-end applications for defense
and security. The newly introduced RangerLase family capitalizes
on years of development work and expertise in fields like laser
range finding and scanning, laser-based perimeter security, and
laser illumination. Modulight's "defense and security"
laser offering encompasses a large variety of lasers, covering the
wavelength spectrum from visible red to the "eye-safe"
infrared and producing output powers from 100 mW to 20 W. The Ranger
lasers span across a multitude of applications, each laser being
optimized for a specific use.
Pointing and illumination
Wavelength: 635 nm, 690 nm, 830 nm, 1550 nm
Power output: 200 mW-40 W
Package style: bare die, TO-can, C-mount, CS-mount, pigtailed module

Whether
you are pointing at a specific location or adjusting your line-of-sight,
Modulight lasers can help shed some light on the situation. Designed
for continuous-wave operation and boasting impressive life-time spans,
the lasers in this application range can really make a difference
in tough applications. The single-emitter laser devices, emitting
up to 1 W of light in the visible and near-infrared spectral regions,
are very good sources for high power, |

beam-quality laser pointers in applications requiring bright, directional
beams. The broad-area lasers and laser |
arrays delivering output powers of up to
40 W are ideal as visible or "eye-safe" illuminators for
applications hinging on bright sources of coherent radiation.

|
Perimeter security
Wavelength: 1310 nm, 1550 nm
Power output: 3-50 mW
Package style: TO-can, coaxial module
|

Looking
to secure a perimeter? Fiber optics is the ideal way to do that. Impervious
to lightning, water, frost, dust, or sunlight, optical fiber can really
take over the Ranger job in a security system. Modulight has a unique
selection of laser devices designed specifically for fiber-based perimeter
security systems. Operating at 1310 nm and 1550 nm and housed in rugged
packages, the perimeter security lasers deliver up to 50 mW of light
in their single-mode fiber pigtails. Tested thoroughly in both interferometric
and time-of-flight based systems, these small but vigilant devices
can safeguard kilometers of fence. |
|
Having
worked with some of the top security systems providers, Modulight
developed a number of advanced laser |

designs aimed at improving laser performance
and ensuring satisfactory operation in even the harshest environments.
The advances rely on both laser structure and custom fiber optics
elements giving Modulight the ability to assemble a laser to best
suit your needs.
Laser range-finding and scanning
Wavelength: 830 - 1550 nm
Power output: up to 20 W
Package style: bare die, TO-can, C/CS-mount
How far is far enough? Modulight helps
you to confidently answer this question by means of a laser-powered
range finder. Developed for high peak-power operation, Modulight's
lasers are an essential building block of any laser range finder
system. With staggering output power levels in both near-infrared
and eye-safe ranges, these lasers address the immediate needs
of both commercial and defense range finder markets. The flexible
packaging options ensure that users receive the exact laser they
need, be it a bare die or a hermetically-sealed TO-can.

ROAD MONITORING: Laser system
monitors slipperiness of roadways, Laser Focus World, Feb 2008
Thanks to years of cooperation between
Modulight and Vaisala Oyj (Helsinki, Finland) motorists have a new
tool for detecting dangerous road conditions. A road-monitoring
system based on Modulight proprietary laser technology bounces light
from the road to a detector and can sense when roads are slippery.
The information from the system can be used to inform maintenance
crews when it is time to salt or plow the roads, or to provide immediate
feedback to drivers via electronic signs or radio as to the slipperiness
of the roadway. These systems are now being deployed also in major
cities in US for warning about sudden changes in street condition.
