Abstract

The performance of advanced laser systems for defense and aerospace applications rely heavily on the capabilities of the system building blocks. Due to the sensitive nature of the end applications, such components also often require domestic US sources to ensure supply chain security and facilitate engagement in the product development cycle. Coherent maintains a full range of domestic critical component manufacturing capabilities to support the defense and aerospace laser industry, including optical fiber, semiconductor diode lasers, crystals, optical isolators, coatings and freeform optics, all from US-based manufacturing locations. Coherent has also expanded the internal manufacturing capabilities, enabling the manufacture of complete laser component assemblies and subsystems, allowing contract partners to leverage our internal laser manufacturing expertise. We will review our latest component capabilities and discuss how these components map to critical defense applications.
