Free Space Optical Communications

Cubic has created a unique device – a Quantum Well Modulator – that reflects narrow-beam laser energy back to the source modulated with new data

Using reflected energy makes two-way LPD/LPI/LPJ communications possible with very low size, weight and power

LPI/LPD two-way Optical Communications for various

applications

Communications integrated in rifle scopes

Eye-safe Laser Range Finder to > 3

km

Larger optics allow ranges of

many km

Scanning and Tracking systems are possible

Tags can be in many sizes

and shapes
