Low SWaP, 2-micron Fiber Amplifiers
Summary
The Department of the Air Force seeks proposals to develop and deliver a low‑size, weight, and power (SWaP) kilowatt‑class 2‑micron fiber amplifier module for directed‑energy applications. The effort aims to shrink existing high‑power thulium‑doped amplifiers to match the metrics of current 1‑micron systems and transition the technology toward operational laser weapons.
