Blue Laser for Submarine Laser Communications (SLC)
Abstract
The Blue Laser for Submarine Laser Communications (SLC) program will develop the critical laser technology necessary to support the requirements for Non-Acoustic Anti-Submarine Warfare (NAASW), mine detection, and SLC. This program will develop the world's first wall-plug efficient laser that operates at an optimal water transmission band of open ocean water and at the wavelength of a Cesium Atomic Line Filter, which will enable duplex communications for the submarine at speeds and depths. Technology developed under SLC will be transitioned to the Navy.
