The compact size of TO-based laser diodes, but also some advanced and hermetically sealed housing versions like the miniFlatpack, make these products in conjunction with its efficiency ideal candidates for the integration into airborne, defense or space systems. We, or our customers, have qualified a range of different products with wavelengths such as 670nm, 808nm, 9xxnm or 106xnm against relevant MIL, Telcordia or ESCC standards to successfully prove their suitability for such harsh environments. EAGLEYARD TOPTICA does also have the expertise, experience, and authority to execute qualification programs compliant with the related requirements. Usually these programs will be defined in close collaboration with our customers, partly conducted on our own premises, partly in cooperation with certified test partners. As a consequence, these diodes do reliably fulfil its sensing tasks, for instance in very efficient anti-missile- or active protection-systems, to save people’s lives. Having shipped more than 100.000 units without any failure into such demanding applications should make not just our engineering trustworthy.
