High-power lasers are becoming crucial for defense applications. Exail, leveraging its deep expertise in optical components, plays a key role in supporting these efforts, particularly through a long-standing partnership with ONERA, the French Aerospace Lab.

Leveraging Exail’s expertise in Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) mirror manufacturing, a research collaboration led by Institut FOTON has unveiled a compact coherent and performant fiber grating laser operating below 400 nm. Featuring a small footprint, low frequency noise, and fiber-coupled output, this FBG laser source stands as a prime candidate for integration with photonic platforms tailored for quantum information processing and metrology.

The OHMORI Group at the Institute for Molecular Science (IMS, Japan) has been a satisfied customer of Exail for several years, for modulation solutions and for turnkey laser systems dedicated to quantum technologies. Learn more with this Customer Story...

Exail presents the demonstration of an inertial sensor that leverages both classical and quantum technologies: a sensor that combines cold-atom technology with fiber-optic gyroscope technology, enabling high rotation rates and arbitrary orientations. This innovative hybrid sensor based on atom interferometry demonstrates its potential for inertial sensing in highly dynamic environments.

A team of researchers at the United Kingdom government agency “Science and Technology Facilities Council” (STFC) recently reported in a publication the demonstration of a stable, long-term operation with its nanosecond pulsed diode-pumped solid-state laser (DPSSL) at 10 J, 100 Hz. The optical pulse shaping solution of Exail, the “ModBox Front-End”, was used in the front-end seed source of the system.

Exail announces the signing of a contract with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL / California, US) to provide more than 60 dual-stage modulators to the National Ignition Facility (NIF). This is the second key optical component ordered from Exail, to enhance NIF’s capabilities.

Exail announces the signing of a 1.1M€ contract with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory to provide space-grade (TRL9) LiNbO3 phase modulators for the laser ranging interferometer of the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment-Continuity (GRACE-C) mission.

Exail, a leading high-tech company specializing in the design and manufacturing of cutting-edge photonics components, launches its new low Vπ LiNbO3 phase modulator, designed for high-power laser applications.
