Modulight to develop high-brightness pump laser technology for European Space Agency

Tampere, Finland & San Jose, CA, May 8th, 2008 – Modulight continues its close cooperation with European Space Agency (ESA) by signing a contract on developing high-brightness pump laser technology for Earth observation. The program is scheduled for 2 years and has a total value of over $1.1M. The project aims at improving brightness and reliability of high-power laser arrays that are generally used for pumping solid-state lasers in industrial and space applications. The project targets to produce design and engineering models of space qualifiable Continue reading →
