Lightera also has capabilities to design and manufacture high-end solutions for challenging applications such as optical fiber sensors for harsh environments.

LIDAR


LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) systems use a pulsed laser to measure properties of scattered light and measure distance, speed, rotation or chemical composition of a remote target. Lightera offers VLMA Er Amplifiers and Raman Fiber Laser Modules for use in LIDAR applications. Lightera has an extensive fiber laser and amplifier research program which allows us to work with customers for customized solutions.

Free Space Communication

Free space optical communications use laser transmission through the air to communicate wirelessly between two locations. Lightera manufactures a broad range of Erbium-Ytterbium Doped Optical Fibers, VLMA Er Amplifiers and Raman Fiber Laser Modules that help ensure continuous high-quality transmission through adverse weather conditions.

Trade Compliance
