#electro-optic

Nonlinear optical crystal KTiOPO4 (KTP) has excellent frequency doubling performance: large nonlinear coefficient, no delixation, optical damage threshold up to GW/cm2, and little change of phase matching condition with temperature. According to practical experience, crystals with large nonlinear coefficients often have excellent electro-optical properties. The successful development of low conductivity KTP crystal by molten salt method has greatly promoted the practical application of KTP electro-optic devices, especially in the field of high-frequency modulation.

Advanced Airborne Technology Unveiled

Unmanned aircraft systems enable tactical intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) without endangering military personnel. A new airborne surveillance camera system unveiled recently is suitable for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and small manned aviation platforms used for border

Compact System with High Counter-Drone Capabilities

The weaponization of small and cheap consumer drones, including dropping improvised explosive devices, has urged conventional armies to look for new countermeasures and rapidly field counter-drone weapons. The defense giant Raytheon has been recently experimenting an anti-drone laser on a dune

New Counter UAV Concept

A new development at the counter unmanned vehicle arena. The Estonian military expects to demonstrate a prototype of its Shark counter-unmanned aerial vehicle (C-UAV) system in the August/September timeframe with Marduk Technologies. Currently, the Shark is planned to be used to combat
