Company Exhibited and Presented Technical Paper on Semiconductor Lasers for High Energy Laser Weapon Applications at 21st Annual Solid State and Diode Laser Technology Review 2008
SYLMAR, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--QPC Lasers, Inc. (OTC BB: QPCI.OB), ?QPC,? a world leader in the design and manufacture of high brightness, high power semiconductor lasers for the consumer, industrial, defense, and medical markets, today announced that it recently presented a technical paper and showcase of its next generation BrightLase? and BrightLock? products and technologies at the 21st Annual Solid State and Diode Laser Technology Review ?SSDLTR? 2008 conference in Albuquerque, NM. Hosted by the Directed Energy Professional Society (?DEPS?), participation at this prominent industry event further establishes QPC?s already strong presence in the defense and security market, particularly for its developments in fiber laser pump engines which the company continues to develop for high energy weapon applications. Last week the company announced a follow-on contract to develop and deliver BrightLase? high power fiber laser pump engines for airborne directed energy weapons applications; QPC has been awarded over $2.5 Million for its airborne directed energy weapon developments since 2007.
SSDLTR 2008 continues its mission to be the premier technical meeting for the global military high power solid state laser community. The SSDLTR brings together scientists, officers, researchers and managers from government agencies, engineers and executives from virtually every major defense contractor, as well as specialty science and university lab settings, for the exchange of ideas relating to the development of high power bulk solid state, fiber, and semiconductor laser systems and related technologies.
The QPC paper and presentation featured a recently published technical paper entitled ?High brightness single mode and multimode semiconductor lasers in the visible, near-infrared and eye-safe regime.? The company also exhibited several Ultra? Series fiber coupled laser modules with BrightLase? and BrightLock? technologies, including eye-safe wavelengths and near infrared, which are suitable for many defense applications. Additionally, the company showed its industry leading BrightLase? high power single mode eye-safe wavelength lasers.
QPC?s Department of Defense Sponsored Programs include:
- US Navy - Low cost engines for directed energy weapons \
- DARPA ? High power single mode lasers for direct diode high energy laser weapons
- US Army ? Eye-safe wavelength lasers with internal gratings for engines for directed energy weapons
- US Missile Defense Agency ? Infrared lasers for countermeasures, biochemical agent detection and battlefield communications
