Creating High-Precision Glass for NIR Lasers- Erbium (Er) doped phosphate glass
Erbium (Er) doped phosphate glass exhibits many beneficial properties, which has led to an increased demand in recent years for Er: glass lasers for applications as wide-ranging as laser rangefinding, long-distance communications, dermatology, and laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS). Erbi...Read more -
Shortwave Infrared (SWIR) Imaging Aids Laser Tracking, Detection
As warfare becomes more asymmetric, civilians and other non-combatants become a larger percentage of the casualties, along with unintended property damage. The military, of course, hopes to avoid these types of casualties and destruction. With advancing technologies that enable more precision fro...Read more -

Applications of SWIR lasers in photoelectric reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance
According to the different generation mechanism of short-wave infrared lasers, there are three types of short-wave infrared lasers, namely semiconductor lasers, fiber lasers and solid-state lasers. Among them, solid-state lasers can be divided into solid-state lasers based on optical nonlinear wa...Read more -
Applications of SWIR lasers in eye-safe ranging
The most mature application of short-wave infrared lasers is eye-safe laser ranging. There are many models of product equipment, which are mostly used for handheld laser ranging and vehicle-mounted fire control system laser ranging. The laser used in these products is a Raman frequency shift lase...Read more -
Turkey begins developing its first surface-to-surface, laser-guided missile
ANKARA, Turkey — Turkey’s state-controlled missile maker, Roketsan, has set out to an ambitious program to produce the country’s first surface-to-surface, laser-guided missile. The 230mm TRGL-230 will largely be used in Turkey’s overseas military operations, officials said. The missile is expecte...Read more -

India’s state-owned defence and aerospace firm Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) has received a contract to supply light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation dazzlers (laser dazzlers) for the Indian Navy. Under the contract, BEL will initially supply 20 Laser Dazzlers, which would be ...Read more -
Assessing Israel’s tactical laser breakthrough
Srael says it’s on its way to fielding laser weapons in 2020. (Courtesy of Israel’s Defense Ministry) Until recently, the military application of relatively high-energy lasers has been more science fiction than reality. That is starting to change. Israel’s Ministry of Defense announc...Read more -
Common safety precautions for laser rangefinders
1. Please inspect the laser rangefinder to ensure no damages before using. If there are any damages, please contact to repair or replace it. 2. When the laser rangefinder is brought from an extremely cold environment to a warm environment (and vice versa), the rangefinder should be adapted to the...Read more -
Applications of Lasers
Laser is an optical device that generates intense beam of coherent monochromatic light by stimulated emission of radiation. Laser light is different from an ordinary light. It has various unique properties such as coherence, monochromacity, directionality, and high intensity. Because of these uni...Read more -
What does the green laser on the highway do?
The expressway is convenient for people to travel, but we often see truck drivers driving long distances on highways, and when we see trucks nearby, we will overtake it or stay away from him. It’s still quite dangerous next to the truck. ...Read more
