In a recent article published in the October 2014 edition of the Optical Society of Americas’ Optics and Photonics News, “High-Energy Lasers: New Advances in Defense Applications” by Valarie C. Coffey, the innovative Optonicus Intelligent Fiber-Collimator Array (INFA) adaptive laser beam transceiver system was featured.
“The Excalibur program is in its final few months of effort,” said program manager Joseph Mangano. “We accomplished our primary goal of demonstrating the potential for coherently combining the outputs of kilowatt-class lasers into much higher power beams at very high electrical-to-optical efficiency while maintaining the near-perfect beam quality.”
