Under the $4.9m programme, the company’s team of scientists and engineers will engage in the development of a high-power laser prototype in support of improved electro-optical (EO) sensors.

This prototype will be designed to emit white light over a wide range of wavelengths in a continuous optical spectrum.

The light spans across a range that goes from the ultraviolet (UV) spectrum, through the visible spectrum, and into the short-wavelength infrared.

CACI president and CEO John Mengucci said: “We are seeing strong demand for high-performance lasers that support enhanced functionality for remote sensing systems.
