Description

This project will modify GFE (delivered under contract N68335-15-C-0102, to be returned to Fibertek), test the modified system, and deliver an advanced blue solid-state laser transmitter based on frequency doubling of a diode pumped near infrared laser. The technical approach utilizes a novel gain module design which maximizes pump efficiency while minimizing temperature rise and thermally induced stress. The goal of this program will be to raise the technical readiness level of the laser system to TRL-5 using manufacturing designs and processes traceable to qualification for military environments at TRL-6 and beyond.
