Developers of IR countermeasures and seeker-testing equipment needed to replace bulky lamp or OPO sources that limited modulation speed and introduced SWaP challenges. After reviewing wavelength, modulation, and thermal constraints with RPMC’s specialists, they transitioned to compact mid-IR quantum cascade lasers, providing >1 W average output per chip and fast modulation capabilities in a small HHL package. This enabled lighter, more agile countermeasure prototypes and simplified thermal and mechanical design.
Laser Solution: Compact, high-power, fast-modulating mid-IR QCLs for IRCM/DIRCM development
Outcome: Reduced system size, thermal requirements, and improved waveform agility for modern mid-IR countermeasure testing & simulation
