OBJECTIVE: Develop a Mid-Infrared (Mid-IR) fiber coupler system capable of
receiving multiple semi-conductor laser sources (e.g., quantum cascade lasers
emitting at different Mid-IR wavelengths, solid-state lasers, optically pumped
semiconductor lasers) so as to achieve a single output beam.
DESCRIPTION: Next generation infrared countermeasure (IRCM) systems must have
the capacity to offer greater output power and wavelength range through a fiber
than presently available in order to counter advancing threat technologies.
Current Mid-IR sources are limited in the power and bandwidth they can deliver.
Development of a Mid-IR fiber coupler can be a way to combine current IRCM laser
sources to produce ultra broadband IRCM sources to gain higher output powers. We
seek an all Mid-IR fiber coupler with capability to combine wavelengths from all
IRCM bands (2-5 microns) into one fiber. This device should be able to combine
powers of up to 100 watts and have low insertion losses less than 5 percent
(-0.2dB) and maintain or improve beam quality.
PHASE I: Design, develop and prove feasibility of a Mid-IR fiber coupler. Model
the losses and powers that can be combined in several iterations (various
increments input lasers) of the fiber coupler.
PHASE II: Based on the design in Phase I, fabricate four sets of fiber coupler
prototypes (two, four, six and eight input lasers) that are capable of combining
outputs of several multiband IRCM laser sources. Test and evaluate the
prototypes for performance, losses, beam quality and other characterization
points.
PHASE III: Continue improving the fiber coupler in terms of increasing the
number of input laser sources to achieve greater output power. Transition the
technology to appropriate platforms and systems.
PRIVATE SECTOR COMMERCIAL POTENTIAL/DUAL-USE APPLICATIONS: Commercial
applications of this technology include chemical and explosive detection
systems, Mid-IR fiber lasers, Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) is an optical
remote sensing technology that measures properties of scattered light to find
range and/or other information of a distant target and free space optical
communications.

Northrop, Selex open up IR countermeasures alliance
23 Jun 2011
Defense contractors sign memorandum of understanding to "aggressively target"
the international market for infrared countermeasures.
Infrared countermeasures
Northrop Grumman and Selex Galileo are set to expand their production of
laser-based infrared countermeasure systems used to protect aircraft, after
signing a memorandum of understanding to target the international marketplace.
The two defense firms have a long-standing relationship in directional infrared
countermeasures (DIRCMs), having delivered 750 such systems – mostly to the US
and UK– over the past two decades.
The new focus on markets beyond those countries and close allies will be based
on an open framework permitting the integration of the various electro-optic
subsystems that make up a full DIRCM system – including optical sensors,
trackers and laser components.
On a simplistic level, the systems work by aiming an infrared laser – operating
in the mid-infrared with key wavelengths in the 2-5 µm band – at an incoming
missile that has been detected by an on-board sensor. The laser distracts a
missile from its heat-seeking path, ideally making it veer off course.
Elbit gets $15M Italian Air Force order
Finmeccanica subsidiary Selex and Northrop signed the deal at the Paris Air
Show, with Selex’s Alastair Morrison, senior VP of radar and advanced targeting
at the company, saying: “This is a very significant milestone both in the
Northrop Grumman – Selex Galileo relationship and in our approach to the export
DIRCM market.”
Northrop’s Jeff Palombo, VP and general manager of the firm’s land and
self-protection systems division, added: “We have been hugely successful
protecting aircraft, and this [MoU] will further strengthen our collaboration
and allow us to focus on our international customers as we launch a fully
exportable DIRCM system.”
Meanwhile, the Israeli company Elbit Systems has won a $15 million DIRCM
contract awarded by the Italian Air Force.
Over the next three years, Italy’s C130J and C27J transport planes and AW101
AgustaWestland helicopters will be fitted with Elbit’s ELT/572 DIRCM systems,
which are based on its “MUSIC” countermeasures platform and were developed in
collaboration with Elettronica. The MUSIC platform isn't only used militarily -
Israel's national airline El-Al has also deployed the technology.
The Elbit systems are relatively novel, in that they use a fiber laser source.
Future DIRCM systems in development at the moment may use quantum cascade lasers
(QCLs) instead, although according to a current solicitation on IRCM technology
available via the US Navy’s small business innovation research (SBIR)
initiative, it is additional power that is now seen as a crucial requirement.
The Navy wants to develop a fiber coupler system capable of receiving multiple
semiconductor laser sources operating in the mid-infrared. According to the
solicitation, next generation IRCM systems must have the capacity to offer
greater output power and wavelength range through a fiber than is presently
available, in order to counter advancing threat technologies.
Current mid-IR sources are limited in the power and bandwidth they can deliver,
and the Navy wants to see development of an ultra-broadband coupler operating
across all IRCM bands (2-5 µm) in a single fiber. The device is expected to
combine optical powers of up to 100 W, with insertion losses at less than 5
percent (-0.2dB).

Pismo pulse picker
The Pismo pulse picker systems is as a pulse gating system that lets single
pulses or group of subsequent pulses from a femtosecond or picosecond pulse
train pass through the system, and stops other radiation. The system is
perfectly suitable for most commercial femtosecond oscillators and
amplifiers.
The system can pick either single pulses, shoot bursts (patterns of single
pulses) or pick group of subsequent pulses (wider square-shaped HV pulse
modification). HV pulse duration (i.e. gate open time) is 10 ns in the default
Pismo 8/1 model, but can be customized from 3 to 1250 ns upon request or made
variable. The frequency of the picked pulses starts with single shot to 1 kHz
for the basic model, and goes up to 100 kHz for the most advanced one.
The Pockels cell is supplied with a control unit that is capable of synching
to the optical pulse train via a built-in photodetector unit, while electric
trigger signal is also accepted. Two additional delay channels are available
for synching of other equipment to the pulse picker operation. Moreover, USB
connectivity and LabView-compatible drivers save a great deal of your time
on storing and recalling presets, and setting up some automated experimental
setups. One control unit is capable of driving of up to 3 Pockels cells, and
this comes handy in complex setups or contrast-improving schemes. The system
can also be modified to supply two HV pulses to one Pockels cell unit,
making it a 2-channel pulse picker system. This may be essential for
injection/ejection purposes when building a regenerative or multipass
amplifier system.

AOTF Infrared Spectrometer
Del Mar Photonics offer a handheld
infrared spectrometer based on the
acousto-optic tunable filter (AOTF). This instrument is about the size and
weight of a video camera, and can be battery operated. This unique, patented
device is all solid-state with no moving parts. It has been sold for a wide
variety of applications such as liquid fuel analysis, pharmaceutical analysis,
gas monitoring and
plastic analysis.
Miniature AOTF infrared spectrometer uses
a crystal of tellurium dioxide to scan the wavelength. Light from a light source enters
the crystal, and is diffracted into specific wavelengths. These wavelengths are
determined by the frequency of the electrical input to the crystal. Since there
are no moving parts, the wavelength scanning can be extremely fast. In addition,
specific wavelengths can be chosen by software according to the required algorithm, and therefore can be modified without changing the
hardware. After the infrared radiation reflects off of the sample, it is
converted into an electrical signal by the detector and analyzed by the
computer. Del Mar Photonics is looking for international distributors for
RAVEN - AOTF IR spectrometer for plastic identification and for variety of
scientific and industrial collaborations to explore futher commercial potential
of AOTF technology.

Hatteras-D
femtosecond transient absorption data acquisition system
Future nanostructures and biological nanosystems will take
advantage not only of the small dimensions of the objects but of the
specific way of interaction between nano-objects. The interactions
of building blocks within these nanosystems will be studied and optimized on
the
femtosecond time scale - says Sergey Egorov, President and CEO of Del Mar
Photonics, Inc. Thus we put a lot of our efforts and resources into the
development of new Ultrafast
Dynamics Tools such as our Femtosecond Transient Absorption Measurements
system Hatteras. Whether you want to
create a new photovoltaic system that will efficiently convert photon energy
in charge separation, or build a molecular complex that will dump photon energy
into local heat to kill cancer cells, or create a new fluorescent probe for
FRET microscopy, understanding of internal dynamics on femtosecond time scale
is utterly important and requires advanced measurement techniques.Reserve a

Wavefront Sensors: ShaH Family
A family of ShaH wavefront sensors represents recent progress of Del Mar
Photonics in Shack-Hartmann-based technology. The performance of Shack-Hartmann
sensors greatly depends on the quality of the lenslet arrays used. Del Mar
Photonics. developed a proprietary process of lenslet manufacturing, ensuring
excellent quality of refractive lenslet arrays. The arrays can be AR coated on
both sides without interfering with the micro-lens surface accuracy. Another
advantage of the ShaH wavefront sensors is a highly optimized processing code.
This makes possible real-time processing of the sensor data at the rate
exceeding 1000 frames per second with a common PC. Due to utilizing low-level
programming of the video GPU, it is possible to output the wavefront data with a
resolution up to 512x512 pixels at a 500+ Hz frame rate. This mode is favorable
for controlling modern LCOS wavefront correctors.
The family of ShaH wavefront sensors includes several prototype models, starting
from low-cost ShaH-0620 suitable for teaching laboratory to a high-end
high-speed model, ShaH-03500. The latter utilizes a back-illuminated EM-gain CCD
sensor with cooling down to -100°C. This makes it possible to apply such a
wavefront sensor in astronomy, remote sensing, etc.

Frequency-stabilized CW
single-frequency ring Dye laser DYE-SF-007 pumped by DPSS DMPLH laser installed
in the brand new group of Dr. Dajun Wang at the The Chinese University of Hong
Kong.
DYE-SF-077 features exceptionally narrow generation line width, which
amounts to less than 100 kHz. DYE-SF-077 sets new standard for generation
line width of commercial lasers. Prior to this model, the narrowest line-width
of commercial dye lasers was as broad as 500 kHz - 1 MHz. It is necessary to
note that the 100-kHz line-width is achieved in DYE-SF-077 without the use of an
acousto-optical modulator, which, as a rule, complicates the design and
introduces additional losses. A specially designed ultra-fast PZT is used for
efficient suppression of radiation frequency fluctuations in a broad frequency
range. DYE-SF-077 will be used in resaerch of Ultracold polar molecules,
Bose-Einstein condensate and quantum degenerate Fermi gas and High resolution
