Alfalight Inc of Madison, WI, USA, which designs and manufactures infrared and visible laser and electro-optical systems for defense and security applications, has received a contract to deliver semiconductor laser modules for an aerospace system built by Raytheon Space and Airborne Systems (SAS). The 18-month contract has a value of $1.9m, with an option to increase the total to $3.1m later in 2015.
Alfalight has received the Supplier Excellence Award from Raytheon for “exceptional” quality and delivery of its high-performance, ruggedized laser diode subsystems. Alfalight first qualified to provide the lasers to Raytheon for this application in 2007.
“This contract is evidence of the value of Alfalight’s technology and our long-term success as a supplier of lasers to the defense market,” says president & CEO Mohan Warrior. “This new business and our strong relationship [with Raytheon Space and Airborne Systems] underscore many years of dedication to designing and manufacturing rugged, integrated laser systems for the most demanding and critical applications,” he adds.
