Advanced Laser Subsystems
High-performance space-qualified laser subsystems for lidar, optical comms, remote sensing, and scientific instrumentation missions.
Description
Fibertek's advanced laser products are at the core of the company's technology portfolio, spanning diode-pumped solid-state lasers, fiber lasers, and specialized laser subsystems engineered for extreme space and defense environments. The company has over four decades of experience designing, building, and qualifying laser systems for operation in the most demanding conditions.
Laser developments at Fibertek encompass a broad range of output parameters — from narrow-linewidth continuous-wave sources to high-energy pulsed systems — tailored to specific mission requirements including lidar, optical communications, remote sensing, directed energy, and scientific instrumentation. The company also pursues advanced research in quantum communications, supercontinuum sources, and photonic integrated circuits.
Fibertek's laser engineering team provides full lifecycle support from initial concept and modeling through prototype fabrication, environmental qualification testing, and flight delivery. The company works closely with government customers and mission designers to ensure laser subsystems meet stringent reliability, size, weight, and power requirements for space missions.
Notable programs include the ATLAS flight laser transmitters for NASA ICESat-2, laser systems supporting NASA's LISA (Laser Interferometer Space Antenna) activities, and contributions to planetary science missions — demonstrating Fibertek's ability to deliver precision photonic hardware for the most challenging space science applications.
