The amplifier developed for the laser is being used in fiber optic communication research contracts won by Lightwave Electronics.
Laser ranging systems and industrial thick film processing are future potential applications.
The sharp focus of the laser beams could lead to significant increases in efficiency over current communications systems. Lasers developed by Lightwave are supporting present efforts to develop this new communication technology. Laser based communication systems could reduce the cost of future deep space missions.
