Ruggedized Narrow-Linewidth 1550nm Laser Navy SBIR FY2014.1 Sol No.: Navy SBIR FY2014.1 Topic No.: N141-005 Topic Title: Ruggedized Narrow-Linewidth 1550nm Laser Proposal No.: N141-005-0695 Firm: Orbits lightwave, Inc. 41 S, Chester Ave Pasadena, California 91106-3104 Contact: Yaakov Shevy Phone: (626) 513-7400 Web Site: http://orbitslightwave.com Abstract: The following is a proposal to investigate the feasibility of a compact, high power, single mode, low noise and narrow linewidth 1550nm fiber laser based on Orbits Lightwave, Inc."virtual ring" and slow-light laser technologies. Benefits: A compact and ruggedized 1550 nm laser can find potential Dual use applications in acoustic sensors. Other Defense applications include Microwave Photonics , coherent free space communications, coherent LIDAR and QPSK. These and other DoD applications can benefit from further development of a more compact laser technology, especially for multi-channel and air-borne systems that require smaller foot print and even more ruggedized device.
