Abstract:
Aerius Photonics is proposing to develop Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) arrays that are capable of high-efficiency (>55%) at high temperature operation conditions (60 C). At the end of Phase II, a 12 kW solid-state pump module will be delivered. The high temperature efficiency performance of VCSELs is critical in realizing fieldable diode laser pump arrays for high energy lasers and directed energy systems relevant to the MDA. The high temperature efficiency will result in considerable size, weight, power consumption, and cost reductions over what has been demonstrated to date. These modules will initially operate at 808 nm, optimized for Nd:YAG, but the overall technology approach will be applicable to wavelengths from 780 through 2.2 um. Additionally, the VCSEL arrays will demonstrate environmental ruggedness and reliability in harsh conditions, such as in dust, condensation, shock and vibration, high optical feedback, and radiation.Small Business Information at Submission:Aerius Photonics, LLC.
